Interested in 2024 rankings for BB/EBs M&A in terms of exit ops & current deal flow, across different verticals.
Details on team cultures would be great too.

JPM………………..everything else.
hear hear
For EMEA:
Tier 1: GS, MS, JPM (CV, Q)
Tier 2: Citi, BofA
Tier 3: Evercore, PJT M&A
Tier 4: Rothschild, Lazard, Barclays, PWP
Tier 5: UBS, DB, Moelis
Sizeable gaps between Tier 1 and Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4. EBs much weaker and BBs stronger in Europe relative to the US due to the 'more conservative culture', with senior management of large corporates preferring 'stronger brands' to justify their decisions to shareholders, alongside the much shallower capital markets which also helps BBs as they can leverage cheaper financing to win mandates.
For US, would bump up EVR, PJT, Moelis (massively), PWP, moving Citi, BofA and JPM down a tier.
I've seen you under every single tier list ranking recently with this same copy and paste list
Hahahaha i swear he comments the same tier ranking justifying EB are weaker than BB all the time, must be a Citi/BofA VP
Evercore and PJT above Laz and Roth in EMEA lmao
EVR/PJT > Laz/Roths in EMEA specially when talking about exits, waiting for Laz/Roths incoming interns to MS
Given that culture, hours, and exits have recently worsened at many EBs — and banks like UBS are posting strong dealflow with clearly better culture — the updated 2025 EMEA ranking shifts toward BBs:
Tier 1: GS, JPM, MSTier 2: UBS, Citi, BofATier 3: Evercore, PJT, RothschildTier 4: Lazard, Barclays, PWPTier 5: DB, Moelis
EBs are weaker on culture and stability right now, while BBs look stronger across dealflow, brand, and overall experience
wtf is this ranking
Congrats on UBS SA offer!
It can't get any more obvious than this
