Vault just released their prestige rankings for 2021. What do ppl think? In general, the list seems accurate but I'd move some firms like BofA higher up given how well they've been performing recently

Evercore should be higher, it's now seen as on par if not preferable to GS / MS
Smh @ prestige rankings
Deutsche should be higher imo
Generally pretty good, a lot of it will come down to personal preference. For example, I would put PJT ahead of Moelis, Qatalyst above GHL, maybe move up LionTree as well. Others mentioned Evercore deserves to be top-3. Nothing too crazy to change though.
Here's a link to the website in case anyone is wondering: https://www.vault.com/best-companies-to-work-for/banking/most-prestigio…
The top 5 is expected, but afterwards the list is highly interchangeable based on team and location. Moelis also seems to be ranked very highly compared to general perception

Maybe GS stops paying Vault this year Lol
Moelis ranked #1 for best bank for hours. Is everyone trolling Vault when they were doing the survey?
