If Harvard/Wharton/another renowned UG, then Evercore for the experience/pay. Otherwise, Goldman for the name recognition outside of banking.
Exit opps from Evercore used to be comparable to the better GS IBD groups. Whether that's true is unclear now that Evercore has expanded their class size.
I would recommend Evercore based on the fact that you won't need to worry about group placement and return offer % should likely be higher/less variable than GS. Evercore is going to give you great M&A experience and better pay with possibly worse hours (depends on the group at GS) but for 2 years it's a good place to be. Can't speak to any specifics on exit ops but I would think that from both options you'd be able to get interviews anywhere you're interested in - from there its all up to you to lock down offers.
Evercore vs GS Levfin (Originally Posted: 08/21/2008)
which has better exit ops into mega fund PE?
Goldman anything is good enough for mega fund PE.
..don't know of any Evercore guys at KKR or Carlyle, of course I haven't scrolled through their investment associate profiles in a few years..
obviously if you've done 3 to 4 separate billion dollar deals (M&A or financial sponsor related work) at Evercore versus financings for loans at goldman LevFin, Evercore would probably be the better choice at getting interviews.
but thats really going to come down to you not which firm you work at.
but all else being the same..GS
go GS -- name of the firm helps the most with getting the interviews. beyond that, i'd guess that GS vs Evercore in a megafund interview shouldn't make too big of a difference
Evercore has a rather poor reputation (at least in terms of top hf/pe recruitment) it is a great choice for banking as a lifelong career though!
i really don't think thats true though. i know that last couple analyst classes at Evercore sent a couple kids to Warburg Pincus, apax, carlyle and SAC captl. out of the relatively small number of people in each class that seems pretty decent
GS lev fin places well outside in PE and internally in their principal strategies group.
Lev Fin background makes PE interviews rather easy also
