Bschool placement depends more on post-bank work-experience, GPA, undergrad institution and story. I've seen guys from BofA go to HBS, and guys from GS go to Stern.

Assuming your GPA isn't bad (3.5) and you went to go a good school (Ivy, top public, MIT/Stanford), your story matters most. Great stories come from guys who've done something non-traditional. IBD --> start-up biz dev --> Bschool --> VC/Capstone/entrepreneurship, etc

 

Well from what I've heard about BAML Europe, TMT has bad culture and deal flow isn't what it could be. On the other side, Industrials, FIG and Energy&Power seemed like groups doing very well.

The surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him.

Eum corrupti aut repudiandae molestias cum. Officia numquam impedit qui similique aliquid voluptas qui. Harum dicta nesciunt molestias illum quaerat necessitatibus porro. Distinctio ex ut accusantium odit.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
