  1. It is the individual, not the bank. Qatalyst definitely has stronger dealflow, but both places will get you to wherever you want to go. At that point, it is up to you to execute. It seems your last posts include stuff like "Is Evercore the best bank?" and 50 different prestige rankings. See my point above, once you land at a decent shop it is much more dependent on you than the firm overall.

  2. Please be careful with your identity (see the recent Barclays post). From your history, it's obvious to see that you are a UCLA sophomore working at Evercore Menlo in summer of 2021. Considering the entire SA class is less than 6 people, it is fairly easy for an employee to figure out who are. A lot of people get really irritated at these kinds of posts, and it is better to stay safe. Considering you're going to Evercore, what does it matter how it stacks up against Qatalyst? Just focus on getting a return, becoming a solid analyst, and I promise things will end up fine for you.

Edit: For those who are confused on my response, the OP has changed the question from when I responded. The original question was "Evercore Menlo vs Qatalyst SF"
