FIG seems to the strongest (largest).

Infra and debt are also pretty large and pretty busy but you'd get killed.

HC is pretty good - works a lot with the US team

Tech is also pretty good but works hard. 

GAMA is very UK focused (so takeover code stuff and any UK M&A situation etc).

Energy works people hard, just had a couple of people leave (one for Private Credit, one for a Mega Fund) 

Real Estate and Consumer are new and smaller teams

Thanks, this is really helpful.

Do you mind to share details about the average bonus for analysts?

To add a bit more colour: 

chemicals - very sweaty team with decent deal flow, senior MD is a US guy so good cross border deal flow 

industrials - seem like a very solid group with steady deal flow, good culture too apparently 

PCA - new team which is growing quickly, think they just hired a new VP 

PFG - work quite autonomously, good WLB and pay, good culture 

real estate capital advisory - new team which is growing quickly, pitching and work with the US team 

To add: GAMA also does a lot of cross border stuff and picks up a lot of the deals across the firm, works with the coverage groups. Specialism in the takeover code because of the seniors in the group who have made that their niche

Leverage10x, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Everyone on WSO constantly posts that Evercore is weak in London (most EBs to be fair, not just Evercore), yet people on this thread say that all groups are great. How?

Cause I used to work there and can confirm.

Honestly, it's not as bad as people say.

From an exit PoV, you're not going to be like GS / JPM / MS getting so many looks from the big funds (TPG / Warburg) but you will get KKR, Bx etc. 

However, the work is a lot more interesting. I did a ton of board materials (for live deals), I held the pen on the model, was dealing with the CFO of a couple of listed companies, people treated me like a human being etc. + pay is a lot better + people dgaf what you do in your free time. My bonus was 100%+ in my 3rd year. 

I just want to cavaet that this is all very team dependant.

Have heard pretty dire things about the Industrials team - v little deal flow and an abrasive top brass. Any other thoughts on this team to date?

Work at EVR. Can confirm PCA is one of the highest paid, If not the highest. Higher than most (again, if not all) M&A teams in top BBs

From what I know, FIG is a sweatshop but one of the stronger teams. Chemicals is sweaty but decent rep. Industrials sweatshop + not great rep. Healthcare good culture + decent pay. PCA stellar team + great culture + great pay
