For M&A, the ranking is something like this:
- Some combo of GS, MS
- BOA-ML, Citi, JPM, Barclays
- UBS (took a hit this year)
Notice the trend...BB's are the biggest according to league tables...if you want prestige (and job security) go for a boutique though, after all - many of the underwriting fees are due to the massive book of assets these banks have.
If you have an analyst opp at MS, GS, or Lazard take it. At the other places, good job getting an offer - if you can make it through the next few quarters you should also be well positioned.
Do you want the top analyst or associates program rankings? Or there are rankings based on MD to analyst ratios, to make sure that you'll get personal attention in your cubicle.

How would one rank these banks for a starting analyst, hoping for M&A, in terms of prestige, quality of work, and exit options? Thoughts on Leh v. UBS specifically?
My understanding is the Lehman does not have M&A specialists at least at the junior level, so you should go to UBS in your case.
From what I understand, there are a few "M&A only" analysts in each industry group. For example, in the consumer group, I think there are 15 analysts or so, and of those, 3 declare themselves as M&A only. These analysts only work on M&A deals, but sit with the industry groups, and are officially a part of that group.
Analysts at Lehman, please correct me if I understood this incorrectly.

Rank them based on what? These 'ranks' you speak of are called league tables.
Someone please close this thread.

did you intentionally leave out Goldman?
IMHO, Leh>JPM>Citi>CS>UBS>DB
