Most Helpful

This is a bit like ranking schools. The reality is investment banks each have their own speciality and expertise and “best” is going to vary based on what you are looking for. Put another way, you need to be more specific. 
 

  • banks that pay the most
  • banks that offer the most exit options
  • banks that give you the most learning
  • banks that are the best in tech or healthcare or consumer or restructuring
  • lifestyle/ treatment of workers

All the above would be ways you could get closer to a ranking, but saying what is the “best” is like saying MIT is better than Michigan—certainly not if you wanted to play D1 football your whole life and live in Michigan. Or arguing Princeton is better than Wharton. The reality is even within ranking banks, many are very close and there is a substantial amount of hairsplitting.

 

1. I would direct your focus to what aso^ above said.

2. and focus on groups not just firm name. Being in a bottom group at a "better" name, I think, is worse than being in a top group at a "lesser" name

3. This is probably what you are looking for: https://docsend.com/view/rkzhgb8jxx82csky
