I disagree that Q is the strongest. GS TMT/MS Menlo/Q are pretty similar when it comes to dealflow quantity and strength within tech (MS - IPOs, GS - M&A and IPOs, Q - M&A) However, exits are where GS/MS are stronger due to Q's career banking nature.

Fellow Richards, what bank do we all say? Say it in unison!

Will update my computer soon and leave Incognito so I will disappear forever. How did I achieve Neanderthal by trolling? Some people are after me so need to close account for safety.

Please keep the name of the best bank around in check and call out its greatness and flaws. I don't have much time left on this site so please we must live up to our name

completely agree - used to browse this website when it wasn’t a bunch of kids commenting on rankings. there used to be a higher percentage of quality content on this site, and unfortunately as someone currently going through the SA recruitment process this has made it pretty tough to filter out inaccurate content. as a college student I prefer to not comment on ranks as I honestly have zero perspective compared to people who actually work at these banks

 

If you even try looking up TMT you'll be flooded with GS results... how new to this website are you?

For reference, GS NY TMT will do like 75% media deals and 25% tech deals. GS SF TMT will do like 95% tech and 5% media. NY gets to work with companies like SpaceX and Disney while SF works with companies like Amazon and Airbnb. If you're more focused in software or semis, things like that, I'd recommend you recruit SF. If you're more focused in the media/telecom side then you should recruit NY because most NY TMT banks focus more on MT and do tons of pitching for actual tech deals. The exception is GS because it's GS.
