GS Group Rankings UPDATED

Wondering if people can provide insights into the group rankings at GS, exits etc. From what I have gathered from multiple forms, the following is what the group rankings typically look like but not 100% if this is accurate so let me know
 

1. TMT

2. FIG

3. IND

4. HCARE, CRG

5. NR, CMG, RE

6. Financing Groups

Stupid exercise but appears directionally correct if you really want to rank jobs in IBD at GS lmao. 

 
Controversial

Actual GS analyst from a top group (think TMT / FIG / CMG) parachuting in to lend my expertise. CMG is objectively one of the best seats at GS for the simple reason that the reps are unmatched. Have fun closing one deal a year in CRG while over at the shallow end of the pool that is the MM my crack analysts and I close a deal a month. 

 

Prospect in IB-M&A:

Does Goldman have a regal group?


Yes it’s one of the best on the street. People just don’t rank regal high because exits are more limited to REPE

 
Funniest

Honestly FIG is a killer group at GS, glad to see them ranked where they are. Just so we’re clear, it’s killer as in that shit will finish you. Good luck soldiers

 

Any opinions on financings groups? Levfin? Where would it rank among the street and within GS

 

It really isn’t in reality and no one actually cares that much. But it’s a meme on WSO.

IND above NR and CR IMO ... top of league table every year, on every marquee situation, much bigger group than CR and NR (excl. Houston), telling their group head is now co-head of IBD
