Ah shit dude you scooped me by 10 whole minutes http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/blackstone-tops-vault%E2%80%99s-2…
Hah, but I can post links!
Blackstone tops Goldman. Looks like Prestigious Pete was right.
One quick glance at the bottom and you realise the worth of this list. Rothschild, BAML and Barclays below SunTrust and Peter J Solomon... good one.
Look at league tables, not Vault lists. You want to go where you're going to work on the most deals, that is the absolute only thing to worry about, plain and simple.
Ha, someone worked at Goldman...
...or JPM
Haha you obviously aren't in banking. You want to work where you can get the best exit while working the FEWEST deals. Working on live deals sucks balls.
Deals = weekends/all nighters formatting files for the data room, making powerpoints, writing tedious CIMs. My second year in banking I was PRAYING that I wouldn't get any deals.
This.
houlihan higher than evercore? ms? moelis? the fuck is this shit.
People need to stop freaking out.
Yes, the Vault rankings don't align exactly with our pre-conceived notions of where firms fall. Why? Because we value different things than the Vault does!! We care about exit opps and prestige, the vault cares about the metrics it details in its methodology. If you want to understand the rankings, look at the methodology -- the rankings are completely legitimate along those metrics.
Nevertheless, i'd say about 50% of the ranking is accurate ( in that it aligns with our circle jerk, prestige whore notions) with BX, GS, etc at top.
you clearly must work at Houlihan.
Sun Trust is the NKI
More like Sun Bust
the absence of Western Union has me questioning the quality of this list
What's a Peter J. Solomon?
RBS above Deutsche, Barclays, ML and Rothschild?? This list clearly has little to do with prestige but more with satisfaction of employees or some other vague metrics.
