If one were to want to pursue a long-term career in banking, Gordon Dyal/Allen &Co/M. Klein would make a case for S++/S+. But it is hard to fit them into the general definition of "prestige" here which factors in exits, percetion, etc.

 

Wouldn’t it be very hard and competitive to make it MD at these shops? These are lean advisory shops where the senior partners hold the cards to all the relationships. I don’t doubt that it’s a top tier analyst experience but wouldn’t be surprised if the existing MDs/Partners would be hesitant to promote because they’re splitting the pie with another person.

I could entirely be wrong about this but just curious.

 

This list is a pretty good proxy for how boutiqueophile undergrad business school students see things.
