im so feels
My buddy just finished his first year in the UA Fin Div, said it's an absolute sweatshop and had to do ridiculous tasks like helping athletes such as Jordan Spieth with taxes and finding good mortgage rates. Not sure how true some of his stories were, but definitely would not recommend their finance analyst program.
Why would anyone work there after they stopped allowing employees to expense strip club visits? Was a great team bonding outing.
Move KPMG audit above McSorley’s. KPMG-A has better engagements and also more hot girls that got the job because their sorority sister’s daddy is a partner.
Pretty sure you're missing Litquidity (content team)

JP - HC
BofA - REGAL and LevFin
CS - Sponsors
Barclays - Power
UBS - M&A and levfin
RBC - Power and M&A
Blair - tech
Baird - industrials
jefferies - Levfin, HC, and energy
CITI - honestly don’t know, think they are decent everywhere but don’t really have one standout group in mind
PWP - healthcare
evercore - tech
PJT - RSSG
HL - Consumer, RX
edit: adding more
Macquarie: infra
DB: Levfin
MOE LA
BMO: metals/mining levfin OK but they don’t really lead that many deals
Lincoln Intl.: Healthcare and industrials
Piper: healthcare, specifically med tech
RayJay: tech
Edit: even more by popular demand

cantor: healthcare ECM
GUGG: RX, tech enabled services
Roths: RX
harris Williams: cranking out MM sponsor mandates of all kinds, especially HC
keybanc: industrials

4. Everything else
This needs to be updated. Rockefeller Capital Investments lost their top analyst to William Blair Chemicals & Resources. He structured most of the deals for the Investments Group throughout Summer 2021. Terrible loss for Rockefeller.
