What are the banks now that have top pay?

Seems like the majority of bonuses are out and was wondering which banks are considered paying "top comp". Feel like there's a lot of misinfo with which banks pay the "highest" and wanted a consolidated list.

Perella, CVP, PJT paid the best at mid levels this year. In terms of analyst comp, seemed to be CVP, EVR, PJT, PWP, MOE (not in order just grouping). Basically the boutiques vastly outpaid this year, analyst comp was close at all of them enough for me not to be able to clearly rank (besides CVP the best). 

Associate and VP comp was certainly the best at CVP PWP PJT this year however.
