EVR, LAZ, and HL all have great industrial teams. Can't really speak on the specific verticals (different banks split them up differently).
Evercores team is tiny
They actually have quite a few MDs but their analyst ratio is low
Definitely not tiny but weirdly lopsided. They have a lot of partners and analysts, think they're roughly the same amount as Healthcare, EVR's largest group, for both levels. However, they have half the associates and VPs that Healthcare has so it feels like they're still understaffed because of that
If you are discussing MM firms, Baird's team is definitely better than HL
Information on Barclays industrials? WLB? Exits?
From what I’ve heard, strong group and exits but WLB is minimal. Seems like a total grind.
Baird Industrials is one of the best, if not the best, in the Middle Market.
Any insight to the group's culture, pay, exits, and deal size range? Any major differences between the Chicago and Milwaukee office? Looking to lateral from a LMM Midwest IB.
Culture is far less toxic than the majority of the street, that being said, the hours are long. Pay is at or above market. Deal size has really increased over the past year. 2021 average sellside EV was ~$750M. No major differences between offices as a majority of deals are cross-staffed between offices.
Rothschild’s strongest group
Can anyone provide any insight into Houlihan's Industrials team? (ex: office locations, deal flow, strongest verticals, etc.)
…………..
UBS NY industrials? Worth it or are there better groups? Would love to hear from current or former UBS analysts, especially if you were in GIG. How is WLB and culture
Bump - interested as well ^
Industrials always tricky - you generally want to work at a balance sheet place (think JP, Deutsche) as the industrial guys are coming in through DCM and the corporate banking side of the business (only exception is maybe GS).
Echo this - in terms of BBs it’s better to be at a balance sheet Bank (exception being GS).
Otherwise, Industrials is a broad group which makes it hard to generalize in terms of verticals etc. Go with a solid bank where you think you’ll fit well
For 2021 believe I heard it was GS, JPM and MS (in no particular order) for the top 3 spots. That’s across M&A, ECM, DCM, etc.
For MM/UMM ($500M to $1B+) mandates, my bank goes up against the likes of Blair, Baird, HL
