Hi, to any current / former GS employees - what is the general rankings of the classic groups (NYC only) or are they all similar. Referring to the following groups which I believe fall under the classics umbrella though might have missed a couple: TMT, C&R, Industrials, FIG, Natural Resources, Healthcare Cross markets, Real estate
Many thanks

Ranking based on what? Revenue? Prestige? Exit opps? You'll have somewhat different answers.

Sure - here are my 2c for exits.
Top: TMT / IND / FIG
Mid: CRG / HC
Low: NR / CMG / RE / Infra
As a disclaimer, folks generally consider GS FIG to be best in class for FIG, but what you'll typically find is that while they have a very similar (if not more) MF exits than TMT / IND, these are almost always strictly FIG exits, which is an important caveat. TMT has generally been good, with usually between 30-50% of people who recruit placing into MFPE and similar numbers for IND. Usually everyone (or at least 80% of people) who wants at least UMM out of these groups is able to get it. That said, within the top / mid groups, you'll have a shot at pretty much every MF, and if you don't, the group is not going to be the limiting reagent. Lower groups don't frequently place into MF in general, but can place into UMM funds with the occasional non-NYC MF.
How would you compare Levfin in relation to these groups in relation to exits if you were to include it in rankings (I know its not Classics but if you have any insight would be greatly appreciated)
