The battle of the secret elite boutiques: M Klein/Dyal/DBO/Allen & Co
Non-target interested in wanting to do IB long term. Scavenging through WSO, it seems like these boutiques are known to pay above street and have amazing exit opps. But how well do they compare amongst each other? For obvious reasons, it's hard to get information about these firms so any seniors/those who have friends at these firms could attest to their pay or prestige? Would you take an offer at these places over BBs/traditional EBs? Why or why not?
Off-topic but does anybody know about the comp at Dyal? I heard it's multiples of BB comp and was wondering if this was true.

I don’t think Allen should be lumped in with the others. These firms really only hire from top targets. The only one that gives non-targets a chance is Ducera. The main benefit of working at one of these firms is the amount of senior exposure you get, and analysts will often work directly with a MD or partner. I am not sure if I would take them over a EB beside Greenhill, but would consider them against a mid tier BB coverage group, since you will learn so much more in your time. But is that extra learning worth working sweatshop hours?
Why shouldn’t Allen be lumped in?
Sorry, the others shouldn’t be lumped in with Allen. I just feel they are far ahead. Regularly on mega tech deals (eg. Microsoft, Activision). And where it would be a debate to take one of the others over a mid tier BB, it would be no question with Allen.
Don't forget about Solomon Partners
Good banks, but would still choose Evercore/BBs or FTP over them. They only have one big deal a year and work you to your grave. Have heard stories from my club of people working 9-3am at some of these firms.
Lol how's FTP treating you?
