London - Best and worst banks/teams for exits

Would be great to get some insight into which banks and teams are the best and worst for exits. Specifically, I am interested in exits into MF PE, growth equity, and VC. I understand that the banks/teams which place best in MF PE might not necessarily be best for growth equity and VC. Obviously, GS/MS/JPM are going to be placing extremely well in MF PE. Which banks and teams are the best for exits into the above-mentioned areas? Which ones are the worst?

My brother in Christ, just apply to all of them and decide when you have offers

 

In London it's like this:

Tier 1: GS/MS/JPM

Tier 2: Everyone else

HHs and recruiters here don't split hairs between the likes of UBS and Barc. Your languages and gender will be more important than this.

 

Thanks a lot, this is very helpful. Any insight into which languages are most desirable? Seems like large languages like French, German, Italian and Spanish should be most useful given the potential amount of deals from those countries, but there are also more candidates from those countries than a country such as Denmark.
