BBs as Ivy Leagues

GS: Harvard Self explanatory

MS: Princeton Very exclusive and smart, slightly douchey

JPM: Yale Cool guys, great name recognition but seen as the Tier 1.5 to some

BAML: Penn Intense competition and boring personalities but good overall performance

Barclays: Brown Chillest culture, least hours worked, people somehow do well without trying

Citi: Columbia Very global and fast paced

Credit Suisse: Dartmouth Won't make headlines but can still hold its weight

UBS: Cornell Not a BB/Not an ivy

BONUS: Evercore: Stanford Different but in many ways superior to traditional counterparts

PJT: MIT Intelligent, get the job done well without making tons of noise

Centerview: Duke Great perks and work hard but still have a good time

Moelis: U Chicago Prestigious but where fun goes to die

shut the fuck up with your stupid ranking threads dear Christ

 

1.) this is ridiculous and your characterizations aren’t even right 2.) sounds like you went to Duke bud. classic Duke undergrad move to boost about how they “work hard play hard” more than other schools in their tier

 

lazy and biased as fuck. pls fix
