I know many of these are generalist programs but in general, which sectors are Moelis, Evercore, Greenhill, Lazard, PWP, PJT and Centerview strongest in?

Career Resources
Every vertical at Moelis, Evercore, Greenhill, Lazard, PJT, and Centerview is a pretty good place to be. That being said these are what I understand to be some of the "best" verticals at each firm:
Moelis: Sponsors, C&R, TMT, good RX but not lights-out like Laz or PJT Evercore: TMT, Industrials (Transportation / Defense), O&G Lazard: Healthcare, Real Estate, TMT, Restructuring, Industrials, O&G also solid PJT: TMT, Real Estate, Restructuring Centerview: Healthcare, C&R, Industrials (Although staffing is mostly accounts-based) HL: RX PWP: TMT
This list might be colored by the groups I've spoken to/know about (for instance I don't even know if most of these places have NatRes, FIG, or Power verticals)
Also... PJT RX does have phenomenal placement in PE... Unless you aren't counting all the kids they sent to Centerbridge, Apollo, etc.
HL is not an EB, it is a MM bank that leans on a strong RX practice. Laz is hands down the best RX practice.. They get EVERY major debtor side mandate and CRUSH it on fees. The only reason HL tops Laz on league tables is they ONLY do creditor work... Which requires less team resources so you can take on more engagments. Also, there is only 1 debtor advisor on deals.. There can be 3+ creditor advisors between 1st Lien, 2nd Lien/Unsecureds/Ad Hoc, or UCC.
Little tiny PWP, with less full time analysts than most EBs have in their summer intern class, has advised on 57.1b worth of disclosed transactions in 2016, while Moelis has advised on 22.1b worth of disclosed transactions. Moelis is like 4 times as large, yet PWP is the bank that is struggling? For further perspective, Centerview has advised on something like ~43b in disclosed transactions in the same time frame.
Does anyone ever look anything up for themselves anymore? Or has this whole website just become a dumpy echo chamber for people repeating useless information?
