Blair too high, Evercore too low, otherwise good list
Huge congrats on Blair
PJT is not #1. Not even Top 5. Sorry. These lists are for people who have no idea what they're talking about.
Try:
1. GS
2. Centerview (depends on group, HC very hot right now)
3. JPM
4. MS
5. Moelis (can be higher in some sectors . . . the top 5 here are w/o question though the order can vary)
6. Evercore
7. Qatalyst (Frank Quattrone is a legend, but very few people outside of Silicon Valley have ever heard of Qatalyst)
8. BofA
9. PWP
10. PJT
11. Greenhill
12. Barclays
13. Lazard (depends on group)
14. Citi
15. Guggenheim
Greenhill 11… I almost spit out my drink
