Thoughts on Left Lane Associates?

Looks like a cool mid-market IB firm, they seem to have a handful of deals on their website. I saw that someone who left the firm went to Jefferies but took it off his LinkedIn. What are your thoughts?

Everyone on their team has this weird title of ‘investment banker’ and no one comes from a traditional background.

This is a boutique focused on trucking in Canada, it’s not like it’s a specialty mining shop with heavy hitters. You will be working on deals with 5M EV in an industry with no transferable skills with people that might be good in their particular niche, but have no idea how finance works.

I’m not saying it is a bad business, but if you want to work in high finance this is not a good starting point

 

The guy who went from left lane to jerreries, well is he really in jefferies? Lmao
