Curious on you guys thoughts on the ranking of Perella Weinberg’s groups. They are considered EB but seems to stack short against Evercore or Lazard

From a dive on their transactions, I’d say it looks something like this:
C&R > Industrials > TMT > HC > FIG > Energy
Is your ranking based on transaction values?
Yeah size and #
This is a wrong way to judge top groups - they work on a lot of non-public deals and engagements.
Based on bankers from other firms and sponsors, all the groups have solid deal flow. In regard to exits and current deal flow it looks more like this:
1. HC, C&R, RX (HC is killing it and have hired 2 new partners and are broadening their scope; RX is self-explanatory - all groups absolutely stuffed)
2. Industrials, FIG (great deal flow but thought with exits)
3. TMT, O&G (TPH is solid for energy focused exits; tmt had some recent firings so not too sure on what overall future of the group is in the future)
This makes sense- I appreciate the correction!
Surprising that perception of TPH has fallen off that much. They were seen as a top group anywhere a few years ago.
Top group in a declining industry = meh.
From what I've seen though, their exits have been great into a lot of the Energy PE firms (much better than evercore, prob about on par with citi), not that those will be around for much longer lmao.
