For my guys who worked at a small boutique / know people who work at a small boutique, what are average base and what are average bonuses? (Non-covid)

at a boutique with less than 50 ppl. first year base was 80k with 50k year end stub
What region of the US were you in? That's really solid.
wont get into specifics but i think my shop is an up and coming place with a lot of rainmakers from former BBs. recruiting takes place at less than 10 schools and all strong targets
boutique can mean a lot of different things i guess
I feel like there are two tiers of the "boutiques" that people talk about when not referring to the Evercore and Lazards of the world. Like there is the tier that is just a regionally focused small shop that plays in the very lowest parts of the middle market, and then these high power, typically one or two sector boutiques that compete on deals primarily in the 100mm-1bn space and occasionally go even higher. The non-"EB" boutiques can be really great shops and they don't get a lot of love on this site, imo. My team at an MM competes directly with several.
Yes I agree! I interned at a local shop that was in the $800m - $1bn area and they absolutely crush it.
Could I pm you to learn more about the bank?

Very dependent on the boutique I know a 1st year analyst who made almost 200k at a boutique and others who have total comp around 70k. But generally you can tell if it's a good boutique with strong deal flow. Try to avoid strip mall boutiques would be a good rule of thumb
