Why are BB banks underpaying?

I've received offers from a couple Bulge Bracket banks for their TMT group and TC is much lower than other boutiques focusing solely in technology. 

BB offer about 30% less than boutiques in LA. Has anyone else experienced this too?

Should I accept BB for the name or take boutique offer?
