CS sponsors has traditionally been the strongest and biggest. Baml sponsors not bad either. Then maybe like JPM but JPM isn't as strong as you would think. Idk too much about MS sponsors.

 

CS seems to be the best with BAML as a strong second. Those are the only two that are usually considered the or among the top groups for their respective firm. Most others have more of a relationship coverage structure to the group yielding in worse exits. Both would also be the top for LevFin (JPM #1 if you just look at deal flow). DB used to be very strong for both but atm not even close.

 

Interested in learning more about ms sponsors. I networked extensively with the group and the culture seemed fantastic compare to other groups. I ultimately ended up going somewhere else but im still curious about the exit ops from this group and its rep on the street. From what I understood from networking with other ms groups is that sponsors and m&a are extremely popular during placement and that getting place into sponsors is extremely hard and that most of the analysts had some strong connections within the group prior to placement.
