This guy monopolymatters (the guy who wrote this post) goes to my school. He interned at Citi, didn't get a return offer, and now is shitting on Citi in all of his comments/posts. Don't listen to this salty troll. 

Look at all his comments: 

 

This guy Accretionszn's entire post history is him sucking off PWP/Lazard (hes clearly an incoming analyst/SA at PWP) while for some reason shitting on Citi in every single post/comment.

He also began with EB or BB posts that he made before recruitment began. Now instead of making EB > BB threads all he does is post about how EB > BB no matter the situation on every forum where someone is asking what offer they should take.

Before recruitment all his posts were about PWP > all. This dude has no life lmao. This guy has fully lived a complete life-cycle of a WSO incoming SA.

Controversial

A lot better to do in tiers given very marginal differences between some banks… Here's what it looks like at my target in terms of student desirability, with meaningless difference within tiers:

GS / Evercore / Qatalyst

MS / PJT / Lazard / Centerview / Moelis

JPM / PWP

BofA / Barclays

CS / Citi

Guggenheim / Greenhill / Liontree

UBS / DB / Jefferies / HL / other top MMsEtc.
