GHL underrated?
Have a couple friends of friends at GHL and have heard great things about culture and WLB. I know its not the bank it once was, especially from a deal flow perspective, but seems like its hard to complain. I've heard they have very solid exits as well due to their class size, making it even more attractive if you don't want to be a career banker. Does anyone have any color on comp? From what I can tell seems like an underrated place to be as an analyst

Congrats on Mizuho!!!
No, it's not underrated. Everyone on this forum knows GHL analysts get solid exits.
I think it's pretty well established here that (1) GHL isn't the high-flying EB it used to be in the past and it's only a "decent" shop nowadays, and (2) analysts still get great exits considering its small class size
Not sure I'd characterize it as underrated. A lot of the bashing GHL gets here is mainly due to the fact that they plummeted a lot over the last 5-10 years. Think that they went from being close to what CVP is today to being only an ok shop in the last ~5-10 years, so people criticize their fast fall from grace
.
If by underrated you mean the harsh treatment it gets here from prospects who most probably won't make it in our industry, then yes, it can be seen as a little underrated.
This lmao.
Dunno man. I went to a semi-target and some folks who were debating taking a mid-BB/EB (BofA, Citi, Barc, Gugg) and GHL went with GHL mainly due to the higher chance of landing a better exit on average. So I think for people that are actually in finance and are optimizing for buyside exits, GHL is still an awesome place to get a solid buyside gig.
Also, looking at their analyst class, it seems they hire only from targets/semi-targets, so that means they are still able to attract decent quality of kids (which obv translates to good exits as UG is a big factor in the selection process).
Anyone got insights on recent exits?
what are the bonuses like for analysts ?

No one cares about London. Pls fx.

Can get quite competitive with the street for top buckets but won't be as high as CVP or PJT for example
even post acquisition by mizuho? Any numbers
