MM firms are heavily underrated

MM firms lives matter, not sure why I don't see more hype around firms like Lincoln International, Natixis, Societe General, Credit Agricole, William Blair, Harris Williams, Cantor, Baird!! 

 

A lot of these firms are fine at what they do, pretty middle of the road, some like Blair are actually pretty good within their own areas. But the point is hype is intended for companies that have outsized return/are “golden opportunities”.

Yes, would agree that these places deserve to not be shit on like some people seem to do here. No, they are not worthy of hype. Few places are, honestly.

Cant speak for all MM but Natixis pays quite well, similar to that of BB firms. Its the same for Credit Agricole and SG

CA and SG do not pay the same as BBs. This is just false.
