Will be interning at MS and need to decide groups for next year. I've heard that M&A/M&C are top followed by GPUG/Sponsors/Transportation followed by other groups. How much of a difference in exits are there between these "levels"? Does not being in M&A/M&C prevent you from otherwise getting interviews?
TLDR: Should I let exits determine what groups I try to get into?

GPUG/Sponsors/Transportation is def not following M&A/M&C.
GPUG typically places well. Can’t speak to the other 2 listed on that tier
Can you explain? I heard that those 5 groups are top with M&A being top followed by M&C at second generally
Not that much of a difference people get KKR and TPG from FIG or C&R
Even Industrials sends kids to BX PE, Carlyle, TPG
agree, interest in buyouts differs by group
Exactly M&A may only have first dibs at the very top shops, but other than that, nothing else
Top shops = Apollo, BX, KKR, TPG, H&F, Carlyle - on the first day or so of oncycle
Honestly, would argue GPUG exits are on par with M&A and might edge out M&C in recent/current cycles. Either way, all groups will send you to a good exit and you will have looks everywhere. Culture is probably important to think about. M&A will keep you up till 4am many nights a week.
Is this true? GPUG places that well?
