Short and simple, what are the best groups at MS in their IB division?
I assume tech and healthcare? anything else they are really exceptionally at?

M&A Excecution
I thougt you get only seperated into industry coverage groups?
Strongest teams are media & comm, tech, m&a
M&C, Tech, Healthcare, M&A are all strong teams. M&C is a sweatshop though, I personally would stay far away. UK&I might be best for a balance between strong group and decent lifestyle.
Any team at MS will be well-respected though, people place too much emphasis on what the 'best' group is imo.
Ok thanks that helps a lot. I am having a AC there next week and I have to talk about which industry fascinates me the most. Interest wise it is healthcare followed closely by tech, just wanted to make sure they are good in this industry.

They also focus a lot on modeling (tho it can be split with the sector team), deal structuring (like what would be the best approach to get things done). I never did some market-related stuff (e.g. profiles, competition landscape analysis), way less pitches also.
They are
Hey do you know if their FSG (financial sponsors group) is also good? I have heard that M&A does not take interns

FSG is a solid team and has a decent culture from what I've seen. More laidback than a lot of other teams but still well respected and gets involving in modelling (think this isn't true for all FSG teams across banks?)
