Think M&A and Tech West are considered the “best”. I’ve also heard great things about power and utilities, MediaComms and FSG
Their UK IB team is excellent. Top group of its type.
1.M&A 2.Menlo Tech 3.M&C 4.FSG 5.GPUG 6.Everything else
How would you say the exit look lik for MS M&A
H&F filled the 2/3 of their 2023 Asso Class with MS M&A within the first 24h of On Cycle starting, can’t imagine it must be too bad at other MFs
Arguably one of if not the best on the street lots of H&F, BX, KKR, Apollo, CD&Rand more
.

I believe they place well but it’s a rough culture
Frankly Menlo is the prolly the best fit exits. But you’re going to die in Menlo. NYC, M&A probably has best reputation, followed by M&C/GPUG. From there, FSG is probably the best Wlb and culture group. To respond to your above, healthcare is one of the sweatiest groups at the firm. Stay away.
Frankly, you’re exiting well out of all of these groups if you interview well
How is tech east? Someone please provide insights
How about in London office? Would M&A or M&C the best group?
