If you’re a current sophomore why is your title “analyst 1 in IB”
A lot of people’s titles on here are fake as there’s no verification.
“well of course I know him, for he is me”
im definitely jamie dimon bc of my title
BoFA, Lazard, Perella, CVP
All solid groups. Would pick the other three over BofA though cause BofA C&R does not pay street at all.
bofa is top at senior level and in terms of dealflow but keep in mind the modeling is generally outsourced to the m&a team if that’s important to you
Financo is now part of RJ and is filled with a bunch of Wharton people. When I interviewed with them, the technical portions were surprisingly intense. They do a lot of interesting deals in the space and have an emphasis on why C&R during their screening process too. MDs were really experienced in their respective verticals.
Can confirm that Financo's interviews can be pretty challenging. I have been told that they will interview a ton of kids at a superdays for only a couple spots. I think some people come in thinking they are just interviewing at RJ and get smoked by the Wharton guys.
Baird is increasingly hiring a lot of new seniors
Yep - Baird punches above its weight in C&R.
Lol
Barclays is up there for CRG
Barclays CRG bankers joined UBS few months back!
from what I have heard the vp bankers are actually stepping up to the plate to hold market share
how's EVR?
Heard anecdotally that not great deal flow.
In 2023 the Consumer deals that Evercore did were:
SunOpta sale to Nature's Touch - 141$ Million
Mellisa & Doug to Spin Master - 950$ Million
Sovos Brand to Campbell Soup - 2.7 Billion
Bang to Monster Energy - $360 Million
Post Holdings & Smuckers - 1.2 Billion
So 5 deals that vary greatly is size. Probably not a bad group to be apart of get some headliner deals but definitely not the greatest just from looking at past deals.
how's DB?
Not a conclusive list but:
of Sell-Side M&A Deals 2023Houlihan - a lot 50 ish
CVP - 20
Lazard - 30+
*GS - 25 (under 1B$)
*UBS - 23 (under 1B$)
Financo (RJ) -24
William Balir -17
Guggenheim- 2
Moelis - 8
Baird - 7
PWP - 5
* data from LSEG and company reports
Lazard has a lot because they do both MM and higher types of transactions globally. Guggenheim very little M&A in the group.
Houlihan owns the Food & Bev space, so makes sense that their volume is huge.
As someone else mentioned, Financo (now with Raymond James), is good. They have one of the best MD's in beauty/personal care/DTC companies. More MM focused I think, but they win a lot of mandates. CVP and GS are usually going to be in the conversation on larger deals. Blair Effron has been a part of many blue-chip consumer deals, not sure of his involvement today, but have worked alongside CVP before on the consumer side and their team was solid. Evercore historically had a great C&R team as well.
Second this one. Financo sees almost every beauty deal and is also strong across consumer in general. Definitely a good group to be apart of heard the culture is solid too. Big Wharton pipeline so hope you go there OP.
