Top BB Groups?

Wanted to start a discussion on this since most posts about the best groups are very outdated, especially on the BB side. What are the best and highest performing groups right now in terms of learning/exit ops/exposure?

Hey thanks for actually contributing useful information lol. I was recently networking with a banker who said that MS doesn't have an M&A coverage group as all of their M&A is done in house, but also always see it regarded as one of the top groups on the street, can you shed some light on this? And also do you have any insight onto the M&A/LevFin group cultures at both MS and JPM?

 

Can anyone share thoughts on Power & Utilities groups across the board? I have read on WSO exit opps are good but what about culture and are the actual deals interesting? Doesn't seem like the sexiest group but I heard some have M&A in house such as MS and Barclays.
