Wanted to get your views on these 3 firms in London in terms of exit to PE MF / culture as well. General approach but if you have more specific insights about best teams, will be great as well.

DB > Moelis > UBS
DB you will be fine if you're in LevFin / Industrials / TMT. MF exits available even for bankers in FIG / REGLL where they exited to MF / UMM shops.
Moelis still doable - seen more PC exits though given they have a decent RX team.
UBS basically died - few ANs struggling to even land themselves in any buyside processes recently - more focused on lateraling first.
Never UBS
Insightful, thanks! Do you think it's better to move into a top EB/BB after 2 years and then into PE MF after that, or is it directly accessible?
Doesn't Moe look like M&A player as well?
After 2 years it’s too late as you’ll most likely have to sit there another year to make it credible, if anything you should do it within 1 year after starting.
