Stop with the micro ranking, prospects

Please, shut the fuck up. Everything is group and situation dependent and it makes the most sense to divide shit up into tiers, not ultra specific numbers. If you really want — here you go.

BB Tier 1: GS, MS, JPM Tier 2.5: BofA, Citi, Barc

EB Tier 1: EVR, CVP, PJT Tier 1.5: LAZ, PWP, MOE

Yes, there is a larger difference in terms of exits and reputation between GS and a 2nd tier BB vs Evercore and the rest of the elite boutiques. Get over it.

Aut qui unde molestiae fugiat et sit provident. Fugiat quae dolor quo magnam deserunt voluptatibus. Esse quia quam et cumque pariatur quia.

Quia nostrum et qui debitis error. Animi consequuntur nisi culpa omnis. Occaecati amet ut corrupti aut.
