Can someone provide some insight on the ranking of these 4 banks in terms of PE exit opps? I know it varies by group so maybe a combined group ranking for these 4? Thank you.

BAML and CS have a couple groups that significantly outplace anything else at these 4: BAML sponsors, levfin and CS sponsors. Beyond those, all the m&a groups are solid, as are Barclays power/natres.
If you have no group indications, BAML probably has highest expected value.
Thank you very much - this was super helpful

bump, interested as well
Hard to say without specifying groups, but generally I'd say Citi, BAML, and CS are a notch better than Barclays. Just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.
From my knowledge, the better groups at each bank are;
Citi: M&A BAML: Sponsors, M&A, LevFin CS: Sponsors, M&A Barclays: Power
Across the board, which would have the strongest groups?
BAML M&A has been having a really tough year so far if I remember correctly. That was YTD as of June though, things could’ve changed.
Probably BAML or CS tbh
How are the CS/BAML/Citi (Not Barclays) M&A and TMT groups future prospects? Which one generally has more buy-side opportunities, culture, and exposure? Pay does not matter as PE/Buyside is by far the main focus
I would say it's pretty much a wash across the board if group placements were a question mark with each firm having unique advantages.
BAML (LevFin, Sponsors, M&A) and Citi (M&A, Industrials) have a few groups that place very well but those groups are very competitive to get into, as expected.
Barclays has strong coverage groups across the board that all run their own modelling (no M&A group) and top analysts exit pretty well every year.
CS Sponsors stands heads and shoulders above the rest in terms of exits and may be the single best group in the four banks you listed for pure PE exits, but the other groups lag behind those of other banks.
What about other CS groups, like m and a, industrials, hc, and tmt?
I wouldn't overthink it. Any ib groups in the above 4 banks that give you a modelling experience will give you a chance for a great exit given you are a coveted analyst. Some of the groups highlighted by the others and I above simply give a leg up in PE recruiting.
