How do the 3 compare in terms of deal flow and exits? Seems like Q wins most relevant sell side mandates and MS is strong for IPOs (not many deals recently but supposedly won Chime mandate). Where does GS TMT fit in?
Are exits on par or better at any of the 3 groups or will analysts get more or less the same looks?

Q > MS Menlo > GS TMT
Q is basically only top rainmakers and amazing deals. MS Menlo wins more mega cap deals than GS TMT. GS TMT has lost 4 rainmakers recently 1 to Q 3 to Evercore. The main deals they've brought in recently were ones won by those rainmakers before they left.
Q and never look back.
In terms of M&A, yes Q wins the majority of relevant sell side mandates. If you’re looking to get the best junior experience, it would be the place. You’re also correct that MS Menlo is very good in the IPO space. GS gets a mix of M&A and equity/debt mandates, and I’d put them equal alongside MS. I’d rank them as 1a. Q and 1b. GS and MS.
When looking at exits, it depends. All have similar placement into megafunds. MS and GS analysts tend to exit commonly into PE while the Q analysts are varied between MF, Growth, Venture, and crossover / hedge funds.
What MF/UMM placements does Q have? Last I checked GS/MS are miles ahead of Q in placements.
