Hey Analyst 2 in IB-M&A, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I am sad to say, but this thread is lonely, so thought I'd post in here to try and help out. Some potential topics that might help:

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

Split in biotech, services and med tech.

Pay is the same across all group.

Broadly speaking, bio is a lot of cap raises, services is sponsor buy/sell side and med tech is corporate M&A.

Services is definitely the busiest by a good margin. All groups have good exits but probably doesn’t matter to you as an associate.

 

Industrials is pretty sweaty and the largest group now. Definitely the most deal flow and have closed some big ones recently. Culture seems to be one of the “frattier” groups at the bank

 

Sorry to bump this again, but do you know if Industrials would now get the same looks as TMT, HC Services, and Biopharma when it comes to PE recruiting?
