Wanted to see what everyone's opinion is on how these groups compare in terms of reputation, with particular focus on exit opps. BAML seems to recently have strong dealflow in tech but am worried that it may not be as good as Lazard's focus on M&A for PE exits. Don't know too much about Centerview has been doing so any color on them would be appreciated!
TIA!

BAML will give you the most well-rounded experience. They also split into M&A and coverage, so if you care about buyout PE that might be a consideration.
Lazard SF is cool, Boston is mostly random software companies.
Centerview isn’t on a ton of deals / will mostly be software.
