About equal at this point. Maybe Jeff has a better rep because it's growing while UBS is declining, but good groups at both firms will prolly perform equally in PE recruiting
Equal exits and equal prestige in 2022?
Exits are relatively equal assuming good groups at both, but Jeff has more decent to solid groups than UBS. Jeff prolly has better rep rn because it's growing and still hiring rn while UBS is declining and firing ppl. They're both in a similar tier of banks though
UBS is not firing people (just normal cuts like any bank here and there).
They also have a significantly better work life balance than Jefferies. I know many people from UBS that went to nice PE shops.
when you say better wlb are we talking 70-80 ubs vs 80-90 jeff? can we get some numbers/examples
It's only better WLB because deal flow is not consistent in most of their groups. And in their good groups like Industrials and LevFin you will be grinding. Hell even in their shitty coverage groups I knew An1 and An2's sending emails at 1 or 2 am frequently on useless pitches. Should've worded my previous comment better.
You are correct that they're not on a firing spree currently like GS/MS, but I do know first hand people that were fired this past summer. Albeit, pretty much all at the senior level in the underperforming coverage teams. Nobody is saying you can't land a good PE shop from UBS. Occasional MF and UMM is possible.
Like I said, Jeff and UBS are in a very similar tier of banks at this point. For PE exits, they are still nearly identical. For someone who wants to be in banking longer, it's prolly wiser to go with Jeff over UBS though given the downsizing and underperformance in the US by the latter. UBS still a powerhouse in Europe and Asia, but the US team is not great besides a handful of groups.

bump
Deloitte Corporate Finance > UBS > KPMG Corp Fin > JEF
What about EY corporate advisory
I mean they're obviously top dawg but you have to be a god to even get an interview.
EY Corp Advisory
Deloitte CF / KPMG CF
FT Partners / Lazard / Evercore
GS / Morgan Stanley / JP Morgan
In my subjective opinion (4 years in the industry) they are the same in terms of prestige to me
If you had to put one above the other marginally?
