this board is a nerd porn site. debating jobs and salaries that most people can never have and practicing mental onanism thinking about big bonuses.

What do you guys think? Brad Pitt, Lachlan Murdoch or Tom Brady? Let's hear some thoughts.

PS. can't resist, but Blackstone M&A having prestige is like Yale MBA having prestige. It's borrowed. (OK, a bit harsh on BS, they have pretty good reputation, but not close to as elite as PE group)

 

You'll die at UBS LA. But you're in investment banking...since when have you cared about having a life?

have reps for being notoriously tough on the hours, even GS TMT. all great choices for exit opps, although there are rumblings that UBS LA may be losing steam soon in terms of PE placement... not this year or next, but it's on the horizon. maybe that has to do with a ridiculous 100% placement rate

I think UBS LA is losing steam in terms of overall % cuz the class size is bigger. You have to realize, however, that UBS LA used to have 100% placement after not getting their summers back and scrambling for candidates. Guys that summered at UBS LA then went on somewhere else also ended up at KKR, HF etc.

Blackstone M&A is great for exits. It's small, lots of senior guys to make calls for you, and its exclusive. I personally don't like big banks so I'm biased towards those two. Obvisouly GOldman TMT needs no defending.
