Curious to hear if there is a considerable difference in quality of exits across the various groups within M&A? Heard that Tech, Media/Communications, and Healthcare have the best exits but not sure how much it differs across groups.
Thanks!

You could genuinely exit anywhere but Tech and HC would probably have the best exits
Not that deep. Tech because of its culture attracts the biggest hardos. From the HH side all EVR M&A analysts are the same at the bank/group level. Will be the HH chat/school that make the difference
Exits have gone down at EVR M&A have they not? With bloated class sizes and what not, it seems like this is the case. It’s very difficult to get MF?
Group dependent AFAIK.. If Tech M&A consistently sends its most of its analysts to MF / UMM across both the NYC and Menlo offices. Media and Communications also sends a good chunk of its folks to MF / UMM. After these groups, I would say healthcare and industrials tend to do better than others, but IMO not a huge difference between the groups
Honestly, depends on the team but it's mostly driven by how prepared you are during the interviews etc... Tech and Media / Telecom tends to attract hardos, thus leading to better exits on average. But still, you can honestly get any buyside exit from any EVR M&A group
Should be fine for most exits from any group at Evercore in most regions
MF/UMM exits are possible from essentially any EVR M&A group. But when you look at class sizes across the top BBs and larger EB's like EVR, not to mention the skew of other qualified canidates at other places, there are simply far more candidates than there are seats at those funds, so the median outcome from the bank as a whole will naturally skew toward larger MM's (the ~2 - ~5bn fund size firms). A lot of the perceived placement advantage from certain groups is really self-selection. Those groups attract candidates who were likely going to recruit well anyway due to them being the most prepared / hardo; the incremental edge from the group itself is often overstated.
