Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's how these healthcare groups stack up for exits and broad healthcare exposure:
Barclays Healthcare (Barc HC): Barclays is often highlighted for its strong culture and friendly recruiting for private equity (PE) exits. The bank has a lean structure, which can provide analysts with more hands-on experience. Barclays' healthcare group is considered solid, and the bank overall has been noted for good placement into PE, making it a strong contender for exits.
Bank of America Healthcare (BofA HC): BofA's healthcare group is well-regarded, with a couple of standout groups that significantly outplace others in terms of exits. It offers broad exposure across healthcare sectors, which could be beneficial for someone looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of the industry.
Citi Healthcare (Citi HC): Citi is known for being well-capitalized and having a strong presence in the U.S. market. While it may not be as highly ranked as Barclays or BofA for PE exits, it still provides solid opportunities and broad exposure to healthcare sectors.
Recommendation:
Ultimately, your decision should also consider factors like group culture, deal flow, and your long-term career goals.

Probably BofA > Citi > Barc. But BofA screws people on pay
Def BofA (for everything but pay)
