NY banks and groups with real diversity / internationals

Currently at a NY EB. The M&A side is heavy on the CT golf crowd, which I’ve come to find extremely boring and am tired of. Have consistently been top bucket since starting as an Analyst and would like to stay in banking for the foreseeable future. Personally went to HS in Asia, top undergrad in the states and then Analyst stint in London. Does the community have thoughts on which banks and groups in NY have a more diverse set of people? Diversity in the real sense, not the BS college admissions version. Would love to work with more people who have international roots and experience

Some international banks in NYC would have that, but might be a step back in prestige/comp

Very anecdotal evidence, but from my interactions I've always found Lazard, PWP, and CVP juniors to be a bit more diverse/interesting. I've found that Lazard tends to have quite a number of high-achieving students (eg. class president, incredibly good athletes), CVP to have relatively more juniors with more diverse intellectual backgrounds (aka not the type of finance hardo who went into college knowing they wanted to do IB) - perhaps due to CVP's traditionally later recruiting timeline, and PWP to have generally chiller people in general who don't make finance/IB their entire personality.
