Financial Sponsors groups

no love for UBS? CS Sponsors then everybody else about the same.

MS or CS

CS Sponsors really is at the top of the list. Everyone afterwards is more or less similar

Have heard UBS sponsors does pretty well, and great exit ops.

^hahahahahahah no. nothing at ubs has great exit ops anymore

^ know analysts from NY, SF, and LA FSLF that have gone to megafunds recently, and a couple that are well on their way to Silver Lake/H+F/TPG.

^know that you work there and are butthurt. i know kids from piper jaffray at kkr and blackstone too.

Actually don't work at UBS

@boutique "i know kids from piper jaffray at kkr and blackstone too??"

Piper Jaffray is a very solid firm but I've never heard of any Piper kids at KKR or BX Private Equity. Unless you mean KKR Capital Markets or Blackstone M&A (which is realistic...Piper M&A-->HBS->BX M&A) I find that pretty hard to believe

i know someone from piper who went to kkr, though he isn't there any longer. it was kkr financial though, not kkr pe

you don't need to be at a "top" bank to get into megafunds - i just recently worked on a deal with someone at a megafund who did her analyst stint at edgeview, for example. also know someone at tpg from sagent.

boutiquebank4life is a joke though. works at a shitty no name bank, got rejected trying to lateral to a bunch of borderline bb's (ubs, wf, etc), and now spends all his time on these boards making fun of them

Don't want to continue on the UBS train but it is a BB, not borderline

^Works there

^ you must either a) still be in college or b) be a REALLY crappy boutique if you're still bashing on banks.

everyone did it in college, but people that actually work on the street have more important things that deserve their attention.

Definitely B.
