Bottom I-Banking Gigs--Strictly Exit Opps to Nowhere

Ok-- so I know that people here are not into ranking the various Wall St banks in regards to overall prestige, but this is a little different. I think a lot of people might find it useful to know how INDIVIDUAL groups stack up against one another when it comes to STRICTLY getting absolutely nowhere. Therefore, how would you rank the bottom 10 to 15 groups on Wall St in terms of the lack of opportunities post-IBD?

Obviously you have the ones everyone is all about here (Piper Jaffray, FT Partners), but I'm sure users here would like to have a little more detailed list. Please use any info (not publicly if you don't feel comfortable with actual lists of where analysts place) in order to think about this. Thanks everyone! Hopefully this can end new exit opp threads for Analysts in the most sucky groups.

Just so there's no dumbass college kid actually turning down UBS/BAML offers because of things on this board:

UBS is actually a good name in PE. I know this year at least 2 are going to KKR (1 from NY and the other from a regional office). Also have a couple of friends at Carlyle that's from UBS. Big name HFs (SAC, Soros, Perry, etc.) also recruits UBS guys.

BAML is also strong in IB. It's not Harvard but it's still Brown. Also places well into PE, albeit with megafunds, it's probably a bit below UBS, but is very competitive in MM PE recruiting. No one will look down on BAML in the real world.

Piper Jaffray on the other hand, please avoid.
