the vault banking 50 is so bad, and while the prestige one is a little better they still have PJT and PWP below firms like BofA and Credit Suisse which just makes no sense to me. even the meme account Litquidity has slightly better rankings with some oddballs (guggenheim, credit suisse, liontree, jefferies) too far right but in general have GS/MS/JPM and big 6 EBs EVR/CVP/PJT/PWP/MOE/LAZ furthest right

Great now we have posts about discussing the rankings of rankings.
what does academic mean on those rankings
think the y axis is more just a joke, measuring the broeyness/prevalence of "chads" at banks. more interested in x axis though
gotcha haha
this is a pretty funny/low effort post but i'll bite. at my hypsm, preferences are generally for gs/ms/jpm and the top eb's laz/cvp/evr/pwp/pjt/moe. just a data point for undergrad perception
Is this the douche ranking?
LOL
I've never been happier to throw a MS.
