I'd also really appreciate any insight into BCMS Corporate. Can anybody provide info on the complexity of their deals and what one should expect as far as exit ops and experience gained?

thanks!

 

Thanks for the insight banker. Would you consider BCMS as a whole to be a legitimate M&A IB boutique? Are you familiar with the average deal size or comp?

I'm concerned about future marketability that I'd gain from a grad school perspective as well as to other MM banks...

appreciate your feedback!

 

They're UK headquartered. New York executes most of the deals whereas the LA and Canadian offices usually provide a lot of the support for the deals that the New York office runs.

 

NY office is a fair office. Sharper professionals, friendly yet hard working culture, comp is lower that the streets. Base should be about similar, maybe less at analyst and associate levels but bonus is certainly lower from my understanding.

 
leveragedoasisHurro, can I ask how you got your info? Please PM me if you don't feel comfortable stating it here.

Thanks.

Sure, pm sent

 

Has anyone had more experience with this firm? Particularly their LA office? Would love some insight on the types of deals, complexity of deals, and comp if so. thanks.

 

@00boom00 la office works on companies with revenues anywhere from as low as $1M to $50M (you'd be lucky if you found yourself working on a company with above $20M in rev). BCMS is simply a business broker, focused on selling companies. Not your stereotypical "investment bank" and I don't mean that in a good way.
