Hi, I'm set to graduate in the spring and am reviewing offers from three TMT boutiques, any context/ranking on the three would be appreciated! Mainly considering reputation in the sector and exit ops

FT is well regarded in the FinTech space. They have really good deal flow, but junior bankers get worked a ton as a result.
I haven't heard of DC Advisory.
Raymond James is a decent platform; I'd probably put them in a tier below Houlihan/Jefferies in the mid-market banks. Not sure specifically how they do for TMT.
Are these offers all for the Bay Area? Where you want to live, the part of TMT you want to focus on (if any; lots of good reasons to stay more generalist at the point in your career), and how you got along with the teams are good things to take into account here.
Thanks for the reply! DC (DCS Advisory) is the parent of what was formally Sagent/Signal Hill if that helps for context. I was hoping to eventually exit to MM PE so DCS seemed like a decent place given their proclivity to work with PE firms - which the firm said they'd continue to focus on moving forward.
Have a buddy at PT and they are doing very well. Tons of dealflow and good exits into fintech and VC. I would take them above the others
FT has great dealflow but junior lifestyle is terrible - most people are leaving to BBs to get a better lifestyle
FT if all you care about is reputation and exit ops. If you care about your mental health and work life balance at all, that's a different story.
Thanks! I'd be hoping for MM PE down the road so if it means getting killed for a couple years I'd be ok with that I think
TMT at Raymond is the best group they have.
