pjt rssg
Goldman Sachs FIG
Not an exhaustive list but based off of general talk/ league tables/ buyside placement etc.
Stifel LevFin
HSBC M&A
Wells Fargo Tactical Opportunities
Jeffries Special Situations
Piper Sandler TMT
Good list, but you forgot RBC! It's the Top BB of all time.
Guys, chill with the downvotes. I was asking a legitimate question... Sorry for using term "prestigious". I've changed it to "best" because i'm genuinely curious.
In terms of exits, comp, AND culture, I'd go with MS Sponsors. Culture can be subjective tho.
What does the Sponsors group do? Haven't heard of that one before.
PJT RSSG
It's the only answer to this, now end the thread.
overall for analyst experience and exits its probably MS M&A. GS TMT is also very good but caveat is you could get stuck only doing capital markets vs M&A. GS FIG is very good too. I think others have a better view on boutiques than I do
Those are both very strong groups. But PJT RSSG is stronger. Even if not interested in rx work PJT M&A out places and brings in more revenue per analyst by far.
PJT M&A is overrated on WSO. Would rather be at cvp, moe la, evr, hl rx
MS M&A, Tech, Media GS TMT, FIG PJT Restructuring
My rough impression having been a generalist for a bit of who you do not want to be pitching against (can only speak from a business perspective, not a comp/exit opps/culture one):
FIG - GS Consumer - GS/MS Tech - GS Media - MS/Moelis Telecom - ? Know nothing M&A - MS (though caveat that most of the top EBs and GS have industry groups execute) HC - JPM Industrials - All of GS/MS/JPM and many of the EBs cover this well, very broad space Sponsors - MS/CS? - Also tough to pin down because it can vary significantly from bank to bank in terms of what the group does. Could be just making lists of companies in some and more execution/leverage finance in others Restructuring - PJT Power & Utilities - Barclays O&G - ? Know nothing
Restructuring: PJT / Houlihan
FIG: GS / JPM
TMT: GS
M&A: Evercore, M&A
Industrials: GS
Sponsors: Credit Suisse / MS
REGL: BofA
Healthcare: JPM / GS / Centerview
Consumer: GS
LevFin: BofA
Power & Utilities: Barclays
