Congrats!

agreeing with the above poster CS>Citi>DB
^Lol college kids who know nothing.
Citi M&A is tops for PE exit. Where the hell are DB and Barcap M&A in terms of dealflow? Cant comment on CS but if you can leverage that to sponsors that would be great.
I'm a big fan of Citi M&A, don't work there but heard great things.
CS>DB>Barcap/Citi
I am ranking Barcap that low because you are not guaranteed exclusive M&A work and even if you do get to work exclusively on M&A mandates, you will only have exposure to one industry. If you're interested in building up your M&A skillset, you are better-off joining an M&A group that works across all industries.
Whatever you do, avoid Citi like a plague. That firm is completely drained of junior to mid-level talent and is populated by bitter, angry people (almost all the analysts/associates/VPs I met had only been there for less than a year). I had a few meetings with them over this recruiting cycle that made me absolutely certain that I would never work there. The senior guys are nice enough though. Good luck with your decisions.
^Who are you to say avoid a BB like a plague? Do you even have a job in this industry? Going through your old posts the answer is no.
But go ahead and avoid this BB like a plague, I'm sure many other prospective monkeys would love to take your place.
I stand behind my opinions of Citi. It's a shitty bank with a relatively large collection of shitty people compared to other BBs. Good luck!
Strongly disagree with the above poster. Citi is on a comeback swing.
Im sorry you got rejected there but honestly theres no reason to be trolling. I got rejected from Goldman after my first round interview and you dont see me troll this place up with "Goldman's culutre is crap and the place is going to flames".
Citi M&A is probably tops from the above mentioned groups in terms of representation at top PE firms
Thanks for opinions so far.
I also heard good things about Citi M&A. Even though the bank as a whole had troubles, Citi M&A is perceived as one of the top groups on Wall Street. There was also a post from former MS/TPG (if I remember correctly) guy, who put Citi M&A in top groups in NYC.
Any other perspectives? Especially how CS M&A ranks compared to Citi M&A?
Thanks again!
In my opinion, as a bank, CS is currently stronger than Citi. But Citi M&A is definitely stronger and more respected than CS M&A. Citi M&A is probably just behind MS M&A and on par with JPM M&A (obviously GS doesn't have separate M&A team). CS M&A is behind these three. My 2 cents.
Citi M&A
