+11 Citadel, P72, and MLP from what I've heard anecdotally can pay the most (they'll commit wild guarantees to lock up top talent) but it doesn't mean they do all the time. It all varies based on the person. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀

+11 Maybe not the piece of advice you want to hear - but if you want to start a start-up... just start one. DavidFosterWallace

+11 I have always worked on the buy-side. But I have plenty of friends/colleagues who started their career on the sell-side and I interact with sell-side analysts on a daily basis.  VP in AM - Equities
+11 1. Availability bias - there are a TON more "M&A"/industry coverage seats than legitimate Rx seats at the analyst level (PJT, HL, Lazard, PW) - probably 10:1 if I had to guess.... Managing Director in PE - LBOs
