bump, curious to learn about M&A and exits as well
I think there was a recent thread on MS vs Laz. May help to look at that too
Agreed & very curious to hear thoughts on the healthcare vertical specially
Just went thru the placement process at MS. If you're not a target and/or don't have alumni it's going to be a shitshow getting the group you want. Even then, don't go in thinking you'll definitely end up in Healthcare.
I see. Is healthcare competitive?
not sure bc I didn't talk to anyone in that group although an associate in another group told me healthcare group is strong
