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.
True.
However, this is because:
1. People love brands
2. MM pay is usually rubbish pay (eg. LINCOLN)
3. Some have shitty cultures (eg. Cantor is terrible)
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.
What’s cantor like
Well they hired Sage Kelly (he's still there I think) after all the bad shit about him became public, so I would think that's reflective of their culture.
Blair, Baird, HW all pay street. Not sure about the others. Spot on with the rest of what you said.
No love for HL?
Natixis is a great MM to work at pays well + work life balance
Bro please stop posting about Natixis, we get it you have a SA24 offer and it's a good MM to be in as a non target. Please chill man, I've seen your comments everywhere hoping to get some validation.
Natixis is great like the other MM firms I listed, but I agree. Congrats on Natixis
RJ and HW pay above street in London
Nonsense from multiple inside sources - only WB/Baird do. RJ pay is not good

So is this not true? Genuinely wondering, thanks.
Know for a fact that AN1 is above street at 75 and AN2/3 is 80/90 though
