BAML NY M&A or Sponsors or Lazard NY

A friend (yes, actually a friend) is mulling over these options. While these groups are top at BAML, how would they compare to Lazard M&A? With respect to exit opportunities, prestige, and what you think is generally the best career move.

Would appreciate your guys opinion.

“Michael was a great mentor. He had told me how to stand out as an investment banker and how to utilize my real estate experience to become a great candidate. I also liked what he said about using Bloomberg functions to stand out by seeing what deal flow and IPOs are happening and use those contacts to develop connections. He said to send the email about their deals and then connect those deals to what I am doing with my real estate portfolio and that will be a great way to connect with the person.”
