BB/EB Strongest Industry/Product Groups

Hi everyone,
College freshman here interested in IB.
Just wondering what people consider to be the strongest BB and/or EB banks for each industry group/product group. E.g. TMT - GS.. M&A - MS etc.
Thought people with actual work experience in banking could provide some insight.
Also, does GS have a separate M&A division besides the industry groups in their “classic” division? I wasn’t really able to tell from their website as it seemed a bit vague.
And conversely, does MS have distinct industry groups besides their M&A division?
Any help would be appreciated!

 

Yes, GS technically has an M&A team but they don't really do shit since most of the M&A modelling is executed in-house within each industry coverage group. Heard the M&A team just helps out with some tax related stuff or smth, not the usual M&A product group activity u find at other BB's.

Yes, MS has distinct industry coverage groups just like every other bank, not sure y u would think otherwise.

 

Thanks for your response. Couldn’t find industry group info on MS’s website, probably poor research on my part.

Being a proper product group, how is MS’s M&A group considered in comparison to its industry groups in terms of strength? Are the in-house industry groups stronger as is with GS?

 

Here are my opinions: 

M&A: MS

LevFin: JPM, BofA, DB

RX - PJT, HL, MOE

Technology: GS, MS Menlo, Qatalyst

Media/Telecom: MS

Healthcare: JPM, CVP (BioTech)

Industrials - GS, Evercore, MS (Transportation)

Power & Utilities - Barclays, MS

Consumer & Retail: CVP, GS

Financial Sponsors - CS, BofA, MS, DB

FIG: GS, MS

O&G/Energy - TPH, MOE

Real Estate: BofA, CS, MS

ECM/DCM: MS, DB, JPM

Sales & Trading: DB, MS, CS

 

CS s&t? you mean the bank with no prime brokerage, 90%+ equities revenue drop, a sold off securitized products business, and a limited credit business. Are some of you actually on the street?

 

Bros conveniently forgot Evercore PCA, when their Assocs, VP, MD are better paid than every single groups mentioned above lol
