Most elitist banks?
Picking banks and I definitely want to make sure I avoid having to breathe the same air the nontarget kids.

i would hate to breathe the same air as you, it would pollute my my entire body
You fucked up if you go from pe to banking
RBC
Hahaha actually? I always assumed because they’re Canadian they’d all be super nice and down-to-earth.
it's a joke
Honestly haven't had a good conversation with a Morgan Stanley analyst- all seemed to have a weird superiority complex.
This is the correct answer.
i agree,
this is the way
.
Glad we have a consensus here
It is hilarious how accurate this is
LA office is pretty chill
I would agree with Morgan Stanley, but based on your grammar skills you won't have to worry about receiving an offer from there
You’re missing a period at the end.
I never said I received an offer from there...
Morgan Stanley for sure.
Dudes from Moelis I know are all pretty high-strung. Think they have penis envy of Lazard and Evercore.
just go to wharton and guys like these are common
Disagree re: Moelis, but they're definitely huge hardos
Completely agree on Wharton though - not the nicest folks
Centerview - they don't give a crap about diversity as well
Got rejected pretty hard from them huh?
That’s because they’re private and their only focus is revenue per head. Your melanin doesn’t factor into that calc.
Chin up, though — Goldman Natural Resources is a solid group.
love this lol
HAHAHA. You sir, have won the comment section today!

No softball technical questions like during any of the diversity interview processes? What a bunch of oppressive bigots for not gifting you a job
Pretty based!
PJT Rx has had classes in the past that were almost all H/W with a few other ivies sprinkled in. They've gotten better in the last few years but still a huge uphill battle if you're not coming from H/W or a similar caliber target.
And that's why we killed it, every single fucking deal
weird flex
wym 'gotten better'...? how can they go up from H/W?
He means ‘better chance of letting in a non-targie like me’
😂😂😂 What a piece of shit you are. Bwahahaha, I love it.
Heard PWP is elitist?
can confirm lol
definitely not, know many semi-targets like emory and a few non-targets
London...
PWP was chill when I interviewed with them, semi target
Don't know if still true but it seemed like Lazard LDN was really elitist a cpl years back, could have changed since then...
Lazard take SA now from royal holloway univeristy
Is raine or bdt?
Definitely raine
MS, Lazard, PJT
Funny to see MS on here as a girl from my non-target broke in. I'd say the EBs stick to the top targets more than the BBs do. MMs and regional boutiques are the least elitist ofc.
Well there you go
DB especially the Sponsors group— Old Money Folks
MS by a mile
Funny to see MS being talked about here, going through recruiting when speaking to people in the M&A group, it was like talking to a brick wall. Absolutely no engagement whatsoever and I think of myself as someone who can talk to anyone. I even go to a target, just not HYPW.
Same experience with M&A
Likely because they've only slept 2 hours over the past 2 days
Not sure this is true. I go to a non HYPS target and we send a kid or two to MS M&A every year. Never had any elitism problems with em. They actually often take kids with very impressive backgrounds, come from poverty, etc.
Weirdly agree that MS tends to have this attitude though I have seen non-target kids go there time to time. It's important to make sure that you come off as polished to a degree which is just as important as coming off as prepared for any interview given you're dealing with people who expect that kind of behavior when speaking to an MD or a client.

EVERCORE ALL DAY.
In my anecdotal experience, Lazard and Morgan Stanley by far. Very unpleasant folks lol
