You really calling Moelis and PWP 2nd tier boutiques?
Behind Centerview, Lazard, Evercore and PJT yes
A quick search will show you how wrong you are, especially when looking purely at exits/analyst experience.
moelis > lazard
I wouldn’t call moelis, Gugg or even pwp second tier. Moelis is a powerhouse in rx and Gugg tech/hc are top tier.
Don't know about Gugg, but Moelis and PWP have been crushing this cycle. Have friends from both heading to places anywhere from Apollo to Centerbridge, General Atlantic to KKR. The class sizes are so small that honestly even one person going to Blackstone is already overrepresentation from the firm.
the exits you speak of, are you referring to Moelis LA or NYC
PWP NY, MoCo LA, PWP LN actually
Second tier is an absolutely wild description of those three firms
Moelis is the best bank.
PWP definitely 2nd tier
Lmao PWP not second tier bro
The only second tier boutique on that list is Gugg lol
