Piper Sandler Healthcare team should definitely be B. Deal flow is fanatastic especially in med tech, with great exits to healthcare PE. Surprised it wasn’t differentiated.

 

It all depends what you want to do, but I personally would take average Citi/BofA group over insight. However, I've seen kids take insight over evercore m&a.
