HK BB groups rank and return rate?

So I am curious about how would you rank different groups in BB at HK? Also what is the return rate in 2015 and outlook in 2016? Got a summer internship in one of the BB and have no clue in terms of choosing groups.

Also I am seeking suggestions regarding how to outperform during the internship and win the return offer. Any advice would be helpful, thanks a lot!

Guess you have already submitted your team preference, so just for your reference: M&A - low return rate, in fact all product teams have low return rate TMT - average DI - decent rate, good culture FIG - easy to return, horrible hours CR - average, horrible hours Energy - decent rate, hours vary

 

I would assume its similar, anywhere from 2% to 6%. Educated guess.
