Best IB groups per bank
I am just curious about the best group(s) per each bank, both BB and EB. Also curious about how the east coast group compares with its west coast counterpart.

Irrelevant unless you have specific offers to compare
best group=the group that gives you an offer
EB RX

If you’re actually in b school, I think considerations like industry interest and how a platform sets you up are more important considerations. At a BB or balance sheet bank like WF/RBC you can offer a full suite of products, EBs can only offer advisory. It’s easier to generate revenue when you can offer a TL, Revolver, FX, ECM, DCM, liability management, treasury management, trade finance and M&A. I feel it’s more difficult to get to MD at an EB than at a BB.

If you are interested in career banking, at Evercore it's PCA. A VP can likely break a million, deal flow is non-cyclical, revenue per head is insanely high, and the market is rapidly growing - 45% CAGR over the past 3 years. Plus working with sponsors is amazing - multi billion dollar transactions with BX, Ares, Carlyle, H&F, GA, get done ever year.
I accepted Evercore PCA over another EB offer (PWP/Laz/Moelis) for Summer 2023 and have heard great things about the group.
Not confirmed but apparently PCA has a different fee/bonus structure than M&A as well?
Will you be on the GP or LP team? Although for analysts I think they go back and forth on staffing. Junior pay (analyst and associates) will be the same, senior associate and above differ. Bonuses are obviously dependent on deal flow, which is why it's separate from m&a
But why though
Lmao L
Can someone explain to me like I am five what PCA does?
I'm at a top 3 bank for PCA (not EVR but PJT/Jeff); Essentially what GP-Led does is if a PE firm wants to extend the life of one/few assets in their fund, they do a continuation fund which the PCA team essentially performs a more complicated sell side M&A process, selling the portfolio company back to the PE firm without the original LPs (giving the original LPs liquidity exits). Theres also other ways to do this through strip sales/single asset recaps. It's a really interesting space and very hot right now.

M&A at MUFG

At UBS it's M&A, LevFin & FS, and Industrials. All three in terms of exits and deal flow. All get pretty sweaty
I work at UBS and there is no FS group... Also M&A is not sweaty at all, their analysts basically work 9-5
damn how is that possible? Just really shitty dealflow?
What are you talking about? FS is with LevFin together as a group. Also M&A analysts don't work a 9-5 lol
