Best M&A and Tech Groups on the street?

What are the best M&A and tech groups currently on the street? I'm trying to decide between the two groups. What's more prestigious/better for exit ops (I know it's traditionally M&A but it seems like everyone is going to tech nowadays)?

Not all banks have distinct M&A teams.

Also varies by what you're looking for. You talking BB or EB?

Generally, EB is a little higher compensated but I would argue the experiences are a little bit different. BB is the tried and true path that will grind you out and send you to PE. EB will still give you PE opps, but experience a bit softer

Obvi, this is just one man's view based on my experience and friends. I'm sure it varies greatly by group, by bank, etc

 

Tech: GS TMT SF/MS Menlo/Qatalyst M&A: MS M&A and top EB M&A (can't really go wrong with EB M&A)
