Exit Opportunities Series: BAML, Citi, Barclays & CS

I am doing a series of posts analyzing the various exit opportunities in banks, consultancies and PE shops. For this week (and based on your suggestions), I chose BAML, Citi, Barclays and CS to see how many grads from each bank end up at the largest US PE funds.

To replicate the results or to explore the data in more detail, click each of the individual companies below and go to "Frequency" tab:


Let me know in the comments what combo of firms or banks to do next week!
 

[Background: Over the winter lockdown I coded a software tool that allows to crunch LinkedIn data like a boss. Originally, I meant it to be a company management due diligence tool for investors, but later I realised that its a lot more fun to use on large organizations like banks or PE funds.]

 

Great work! Do you know how big the analyst classes of each of these banks are?

 

You think these statistics can get more granular? Like seeing which IB group these associates were in by quarrying from LinkedIn job descriptions. Understandably there are people who don’t have descriptions.

 

Standardize it next time. Smaller analyst classes obviously mean worse placement for similar firms

 

This is pretty dope - thank you.

People on WSO act like GS/MS/JPM are the only ones who send to MFs, feel like this dispels that pretty hard lol. Not to mention: CS runs very lean, and the bulk of Barclays PE exits are from core coverage which only has ~60 analysts per class.

 

any thoughts on why this is the case? Quality of analysts or historical pipeline from strong groups, etc?

 

Also this is a personal anecdote but I know at least 3 Barclays alum at TPG. Almost certain that there are more, and know 4 more kids who are joining next year in growth/Rise alone. Am on mobile so can’t dig into the data, but not sure that this is picking up every level (i.e. I know a VP from Barclays) and covers all the funds (main buyout, growth, Rise, Climate).

 

are these kids joining next year from tech group or across the board?

 

most of barclays' MF exits come from industrials, power and utilities, and natural resources from the last two years - this is from linkedin search. almost all other coverage groups have placed one or two in MF in the last two years though 

 

Exits have been good but not great. They sent a kid to Carlyle last year and several to MM/UMM
