Best of the Best IB?

Forgive me if this is an ignorant or stupid question as I am not in banking.


WSO loves to rank banks/groups. Obviously this question is very dependent on personal interests and goals and other factors, but is there a "best of the best" group within the "best of the best" bank? A specific group at a specific bank that is know for being the most elite of the elite? Like the Seal Team 6 of banking. 


Literally just curious. Happy Holidays 


Note: I realize people have different definitions of "best" and "elite" but I hope the overarching questions comes through. Thanks

 

History history history! Jordan Belford and Jonah hill are the reasons why the vast majority are aiming for it

In all seriousness take look at Milken and DLJ (“the predators ball”).

 

Yep when my cousin is taken hostage in a foreign country I’d def rather a pencil neck banker at PJT RSSG get them back instead of Seal Team Six.

You will never be able to find 99% of the people to have served in seal team six - one of the most elite counterterrorism units on the planet. With that in mind, you shouldn’t really give a fuck about whether some online edgelords care about how “prestigious” your firm is
