Rank them based on what? These 'ranks' you speak of are called league tables.
Someone please close this thread.
"Oh the ladies ever tell you that you look like a fucking optical illusion" - Frank Slaughtery 25th Hour.
Look at the league tables for whatever u are interested in.
For underwriting FEES (not volume), it typically will go like this:
For M&A, the ranking is something like this: - Some combo of GS, MS - BOA-ML, Citi, JPM, Barclays - UBS (took a hit this year)
Notice the trend...BB's are the biggest according to league tables...if you want prestige (and job security) go for a boutique though, after all - many of the underwriting fees are due to the massive book of assets these banks have.
If you have an analyst opp at MS, GS, or Lazard take it. At the other places, good job getting an offer - if you can make it through the next few quarters you should also be well positioned.
Do you want the top analyst or associates program rankings? Or there are rankings based on MD to analyst ratios, to make sure that you'll get personal attention in your cubicle.
is this a joke? "personal attention in your cubicle"? youll be lucky to get an MD to look you in the eye
hahaha i cant tell if this is a joke
and yes i second the vault guide, highly regarded in the industry

The Vault Guide to Top 50 Banking Employers is the industry standard for prestige -- pretty much all MDs/VPs have this on hand at their desks.

One our MDs goes to sleep with the Vault Guide, trying to learn the secrets to bumping up our BB's prestige on the list.
UBS / Leh / Citi / JMP / CS / DB (Originally Posted: 02/12/2007)
How would one rank these banks for a starting analyst, hoping for M&A, in terms of prestige, quality of work, and exit options? Thoughts on Leh v. UBS specifically?
did you intentionally leave out Goldman?
IMHO, Leh>JPM>Citi>CS>UBS>DB
My understanding is the Lehman does not have M&A specialists at least at the junior level, so you should go to UBS in your case.
Analysts at Lehman, please correct me if I understood this incorrectly.
