Are these appropriate comps? Can see Jefferies and Guggenheim together but curious about PWP

Recent exits from Gugg: Advent, HIG (multiple), BX, BX Growth, KKR (multiple), Carlyle (multiple), TA Associates as far as big time places. Not all from one class though obviously
Patently false what lol
Jeff has good ecits
Gugg has an analyst class around 60, assume the same size or probably even larger for Jefferies. Perella at 20-25, massive difference. On a per capita basis, Perella is going to exit better but somehow there has been a notion on some threads they don’t exit well which is false. Many A2As since the culture is quite good, and the pay is at the top of the street. Have heard HC and RX exit best there, could be wrong. But anyone from PWP will get looks just like any other top boutique firm because of the quality of experience all of the analysts have. Gugg and Jefferies both very solid however as well, but don’t have specifics on them.
Don't think the 60 number for Gugg is correct. Closer to half that for NY. Jeff was 63 for SA 2021 NY.Edit: Thank you for the MS. Looking at the 2021 league tables(I know not every deal is included and they are not 100% accurate), Gugg reportedly had 69 US deals. Jefferies had 246. If you think that Gugg has a IB SA class the same size as a shop with 3.5x times it's volume, idk.
Incoming SA at Gugg - the 60 number is correct lol
