Are GUGG and PWP not EB's??

Went through the entirety of recruiting thinking they were elite boutiques, and then an analyst tells me that they're middle-market...what? There's no way right? Or have I just been living under a rock for the past two years..

Prospect shocked to find out the "Official Final Prestige Tier Lists" he read on WSO were written by ... shocker ... other clueless college students

 

PWP keeps sliding down every year lol. 3 years ago it was on the come up. 2 years ago it was tiered with MOE and LAZ and now it’s GHL and GUGG lol. Next year it’s gonna be PWP/Piper/Harris Williams 

 

That's all fine, but your experience will be subpar there. They barely do any M&A deals
