MBA Summer Associate (MS Generalist Pool/GS Healthcare/Moelis/PWP/Lazard)

Longtime WSO observer, first-time follower. I’m a career switcher and first-year MBA student. Interested in soliciting opinions/rankings with regards to the following MBA Summer Associate programs: - Morgan Stanley Generalist Pool - Goldman Sachs Healthcare - Moelis (generalist program) - Perella Weinberg (generalist program) - Lazard (Healthcare Major / FIG Minor)

Which Summer Associate program would you recommend in terms of overall experience, culture, career growth prospects, eventual exit opps (assuming subsequent full-time placement), etc?

Thanks so much!
