RANKING BB AND EB 2020

Time to rank EBs and BBs. Too often are only one of these ranked at a time. For EB, ignore rx and just rank on m&a please. Pure exits ranking, ignore the higher comp of Centerview for instance.

PJT, Evercore GS, MS, Centerview JPM, Moelis, Lazard Citi, BAML Barclays, Credit Suisse, PWP UBS, Greenhill DB

"Pure exits ranking" - says nothing about deal flow, so maybe you should be the one to "read what the OP asked for." This horse has been beaten to death and usually there is very little to back up arbitrary tiers, plus things like group / location matter a ton too. Just garbage with a ton of interns / students just regurgitating info they might have heard.
