Got a 2023 summer analyst offer in Industrials/Healthcare/Consumer Retail.
What is the culture, exit options, and deal flow like for all of them? How have historical exits been for these groups in comparison with generalist M&A groups in EBs like EVR/LAZ/MOE/PJT?
Is it common to switch groups for fulltime?

Bad culture and really sweaty
Off of what seems to be the sentiment on WSO coupled with the opinion of my friend in industrials - the group is more comparable to tmt/fig in the scope of the long hours and “sweaty culture”. PE placement has also been as good if not better.
CRG and HC are seen as the “lifestyle” groups due to the “better culture” and less hours. But as is with any classics group, you will have a top notch experience and a shot at any exit opp.
Congrats on the offer and make sure to enjoy this next year!
Heard its a tough group that exits really well, so think it comes down to what really matters for you. Has been the best group at the bank for the last two years
Know some people who placed into MFs from industrials last couple years. Solid group.
yeah industrials is strong, it’s just notorious even within GS for being a sweaty group
