WOOD CREEK CAPITAL MANAGEMENT :: A Leader in Alternative Alternatives®

^^ has a nice ring to it.

"Ride your bike. Drink good beer." - Fat Tire Amber Ale
 

Sounds like Duke.

Never heard of Wood Creek, but the rest of the names there are pretty stellar.

Parthenon - top notch MC, under M/B/B but not by much DC Energy - major energy player Audax - one of the best MM PE shops, ex bain cap guys Bridgewater - Major HF Laz is Laz

In terms of ranking, they are all pretty different (MC, utility trading, PE, HF, etc...) so it really depends on what you want to do.

 

I have a friend at DC Energy and he really likes it. They recruited FT at my school and offered 80k!

I would apply everywhere I can. Once you start to go through the rounds you definitely get up to speed on who is who. And at worst you'll just be practicing your interviewing skills.
