Please Advise - Top 5 Tech Groups in 2023-24 Recruitment Cycle

What are the top 5 tech groups right now? My impression at the moment is GS TMT, MS Menlo, and Qatalyst SF are some of the best groups, but I've also heard MS Menlo isn't as great of a group anymore? I would like a rank of the top 5 groups in order of exit opportunity and prestige.

Top is undoubtedly Q with GS TMT/MS MP general considered trailing and comparable. MS has more IPOs which don’t add to your junior experience, but it’s not a major difference

Past that, it’s your pick of JPM SF, EVR MP, LAZ SF or even Moelis SF

If purely optimizing for exits, you can’t go wrong with some east coast desks like EVR Tech NYC or GS TMT NYC
