Currently have an offer from 4/6 these groups listed and was wondering if anyone could help shed some light on the overall group strengths. I don't care about location much because I have personal ties to NY, LA and SF, I really just care about overall group prestige, deal flow, deal relevance, pay, exit opps to buy side, etc. Any commentary is much appreciated!

Get instant access to lessons taught by experienced private equity pros and bulge bracket investment bankers including financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, LBO, Comps and Excel Modeling.
All those groups are top groups, I think you should base your decision on where you see yourself living (how far from your family, do you have friends there, or anything that could improve your life the little time you'll have outside of the office).
