Firms with most asymmetry

What are the firm names with the most aura for each unit of competitiveness to get into / league rankings. 

For example - Rothschild in NYC probably isn't better than Jefferies in most aspects of deal fees / league rankings / exit opps, but the name as more aura (probably because of its European and historical strength) - to me, at least

This is actually a really interesting question in a really funny way too lmao. But genuinely curious now as well

 

the real EBs... Allen and Co, Raine Group, Ardea Partners

The chick at the bar probably thinks u work in the mailroom of a shitco when you say those names. Its the reverse of what you said, where they should probably have a lot more clout

 

Yeah M. Klein and Allen have asymmetrically low aura for me. Names just evoke the image of a crusty dusty MD watching Wheel of Fortune in his 38 waist khakis.
