There was a thread recently that provided an idea on how the EBs are doing in the league tables so I’m interested to hear how each is exiting this cycle. Can people at these firms provide insight?

Interested in PWP. Heard they’ve been killing it lately and am curious if they’re exits are also strong/improving
A few exits in the new class PE class that just started - Harvest Partners, Apollo, Blackstone, Crestview
FWIW - BX associate is not in the corporate PE team.
This girl I know went from PJT to Onlyfans and makes 3x what she used to as an Analyst 2
In corporate dev?
She corp dev's her account
Link?
"Used to make 3x"*
is this real ??
Why are EBs more prestigious than some BB’s if they are behind in rankings? Is the measurement revenue per head since EBs have smaller headcount ?
lazy
PWP and Moe are the up and coming places to be if you can't be at PJT
Can we get some real responses? Curious what’s out there
All the EBs have good exits. Agree PWP is up and coming, but any college grad should consider themselves lucky to work at any EB if they're looking for PE exits. You can't go wrong with any of them.
Factual
Definitely missing some but should give you a decent idea. LAZ NYC (M&A / RX):
AEA (2)
American Securities (2)
Bain Double Impact
Blackstone Credit
Bregal Sagemount
CD&R
Centerbridge (3)
Cerberus
Frazier Healthcare
HarbourVest
Harvest
HIG
Kohlberg
L Catterton
Lindsay Goldberg (2)
Siris
TA Associates
Thoma Bravo
TowerBrook
Edit: Actually may have had stronger placements in Chicago and SF offices (e.g., Farallon, GTCR, KKR (2), Permira, Silver Lake, Siris, Thoma Bravo, etc.)
Interesting, seems pretty good but could be better
^second this, def would’ve expected a bit better
Would say light on MFs but pretty good clustering of UMM funds. Not sure how much of it was self-selection but a lot of these placements were on-cycle. Definitely not PJT or Evercore level but solid for one class. Know there was a guy who went to Advent too but he was in non-M&A / RX.
What about pwp LA? It’s a new office but I’m Trying to intern there over the summer for family reasons.

This was posted on another thread regarding PWP (for NY office exits):
“Some of the exits mostly from this year (some last year):
2 Carlyle, EQT, Brookfield, Oaktree (SS), Bx (idk group), Centerbridge, Crestview, GTCR, 2 top HFs, Platinum Equity, KPS, KKR, Softbank, General Atlantic, Apollo, Ares, Madison Dearborn... I am sure there are others if you refer to Linkedin. Analyst class size ~ 21-22”
Wow, they killed it
looks like they're did super well in MF/UMM
These look at least on par with MOE/LAZ. How do they compare with EVR/PJT?
Bump
Also know someone who left for Apollo recently
One to KKR as well
