Bump!
Biggest surprises were that Spain got more activity than France by value and that ME&A got slightly less activity by volume than LATAM. I figured LATAM would be $150Bn+. Also, why are Eastern and Western Europe reported as separate market when Africa and the ME and bunched?
How much of Evercore being #4 is attributable to Takeda/Shire? Does not seem sustainable for them to be top 5 going forward
Please rank the following M&A Firms (Originally Posted: 08/02/2013)

CS SF by far.
LOL

You listed three types of firms in three different locations with no ranking criteria - how is anyone supposed to know? The only two comparables here are Houlihan LA and Lincoln LA, where Houlihan has a pretty strong edge given that it's the generally better firm and because Lincoln's stronghold is in Chicago anyways.
CS Guggenheim Houlihan Lincoln
no way this can be an arguument

Do BB analysts not get paid bonuses in the summer anymore?
MS and GS pay in jan/feb. I keep hearing from more knowledgeable people than myself that this is fairly common for HF exits.
.
I don't think it is very common. Potentially sometimes for HF as mentioned, because they have less well defined hiring practices. Anyone going to PE, corp dev or other will have a start date specifically set for after their IB program end
Very common practice if you are planning on pursuing HFs.
I am telling this from what I saw on LinkedIn.
and the same isn't true for PE firms.
Fairly common for hf exits, other than the largest shops.
