Results outside bike racing

Like post race cyclists hanging around for results to be posted, our industry likes to know who "wins" and "how everyone stacks up". Year end tax returns are one measure, albeit non public. Another one is the classic "league table". These circulate around our office when the quarters are over... thus today was league table day.

These simply show how the group I'm a part of at FirstEnergy competes (in Canada) against bohemoth names you might be more familar with through the news.



But BikingBakke, what's so great here? Not even in the top 10.

Indeed. But consider what's not shown here... namely headcount of M&A professionals. To save you from hours of web surfing to add those stats to this table, let me just summarize by saying it's somewhat David and Goliath like... those 10 above have "a few more" people nationwide (I think RBC is around 160 from some web count, while we are a very busy dozen).
