fuck you.

i work at a Mega PE (in a different fund but work w them closely) and will say that in general the big lev fin groups (BAML, JPM, C, CS) all get pretty solid looks. I think the actual people who hire at Mega PE's are a lot less interested in what group you are from than you think. mainly because how lucky someone got interviewing when he was 19-20 years old doesn't matter as much when u are 23-24.
