I'll kick-off IB recruiting next year and was wondering which industrials groups are considered to be top in New York or Chicago? I heard GS has a great group deal-flow wise, but not so much culture-wise.
Also, which sub-verticals are considered the hottest within industrials (deal-flow or exit wise)?

RBC Industrials cuz they got Josh Rosenbaum absolute deal maker in industrials and author of the bible
for NYC it has to be Goldman
for CHI there isn't a clear cut no. 1 - Goldman, JPM, and Greenhill (legacy Lehman team) all have great industrials team
How's BofA industrials (NYC)?
Very competent set of people. Extremely long work hours.
GS solid, prob best but bad culture. EVR very strong but they really only do A&D. Citi strong. PJT strong.
