Not sure if you realized but no HH or MFPE is doing granular analysis on IB groups. Everyone gets the same looks unless you are in niche coverage or ECM/DCM

 

So is it basically just selection bias? Best candidates end up in best groups at best banks and therefore do better during on-cycle?

Or is it a case where Target School + Mid-tier group does not have HH reach out vs Target school + Top-Group does?

 

You will not see a difference in the looks you are given from M&A vs M&C unless you fcked up the HH chat

 

Yes bias since same HH opps (but school matters). Just each MF gets referrals from different groups
