Best Lateral HHs 2023 (Large-Cap M&A)

Looking to lateral as an associate - what are the best HHs to be in contact with? Specifically looking to get into large-cap m&a (non-bb roles). SG has provided good opportunities in the past, but wanted to see if there are any other names I should be connecting with. Thanks in advance!

From my experience a year ago:

Most helpful: SG Partners and GQR (most helpful and best roles)

Places to avoid: Pinpoint, Selby Jennings, HarrisonRush, Water Street 

 

Can you say why to avoid Selby Jennings? Granted they randomly spam my email but curious what to look for in a good HH
