Please rank these investment banks

Hi everyone. I’m going through the process with some LMM banks and was wondering if someone could rank them in term of money/culture/exit-ops/growth

FT Partners, Brown Gibbons Lang, Cascadia Capital, Shea & Co, Deloitte Corporate Finance

Thank you

When I interviewed there they said that it would be close to 100% and the offer was yours to loose. Wouldn't be surprised if that's BS though

 

Deloitte is not an investment bank - they are accountants. As far as ranking them not sure. FT partners the base is 140 but they are going to work you as I have read before on here someone said his friend paid the price going there. Just depends on if you value work > chilling with friends in nyc etc.

I think people are sleeping on Cascadia. They’ve grown an impressive amount recently and apparently have pretty good culture / comp. I’d say FT > Cascadia > the rest (BGL blows).

 

Feel like you guys are sleeping on Shea; strong MM presence in tech in Boston and analysts have exited to WCAS

 

Can someone clarify AN1 base salary comp for FT Partners? There seems to be a lack of information on WSO about it?
