Typical Exit Opportunities at Each Bank

Of course, this varies by group and performance. But generally speaking, what types of places (prestige, size of company) do these banks send their analysts? Any specific examples of placements would be helpful as well.

GS, MS, Lazard, Deutsche, Credit Suisse, JPM, Moelis, Jefferies, BAML, Perella Weinberg.

WishYouWereHerehow much worse is Lazard, Jefferies, Perella Weinberg, or Moelis vs. CS, DB, JPM, and the other big banks? (assume GS/MS are heads and shoulders above everyone else of course), but how much worse is Lazard or Moelis than say UBS or DB?

This post doesn't deserve a response. And I'm hypocritically giving it one, but I shouldn't be. It is that terrible.

 

Posts like these just depict the dropping quality of this board.

You do a 2 year analyst stint, you crush it, you crush your headhunter interviews (and yes, depending on the shop you may get more access to HHs whereas you might need to reach out to them if you're at a lesser-recruited bank), you crush your interviews for the job positions, and you exit.

Being at GS/MS doesn't mean you get a job at KKR. You still need to be top of your class AND get many many people to like you. That aint easy.

Stop these stupid questions. Just reminds me of financial masturbation. seriously.
