League table rankings

How volatile are league table rankings from quarter-to-quarter? Is it cause for concern that the bank you're about to join has fallen in the latest rankings (even though it historically ranks in the top 5 in the segment)\?

 

some deals drag over quarters and some fall over last min so announced differs drastically from completed. but then league tables are prob not the best indicators - so many banks co run deals but still get full credit even though they might have done little..

 

league tables aren't great indicators of deal flow or M&A deal team size. Some of the largest transactions are led by smaller boutiques like Greenhill and Evercore. As far as deal flow, M&A league tables only picked up disclosed transactions. There are a lot of shops with great deal flow but will be lower ranked on the league table because most of their deals do not disclose a value. You could prob fix this by sorting the league table by both # of deals and aggregate value and comparing the two.

 

you can work at a firm with only 3 deals when everyone else hsa 20 and learn a buttload and have learned a ton

OR

work at afirm at the top but do either a) a little bit of useless sht for each deal b) not work on big deals

its all abt how u spin ur experience
