I am wondering if anyone can give their thoughts on placements for WF IB interns? What groups are good and which ones are not so good? Culture, exit, return offer rate, etc. Thank you.

Heard healthcare and fund finance are the top groups. Most exits to HF or MF PE
lmaoooooooo
Nice
IMO: best are regal and industrials on coverage side, M&A and levfin on product side
I literally asked this and the comments were “fuck you” but bump
Nobody asked you to talk lil bro, go have fun in fund finance
Just look up the US league tables for the groups and you’ll get what you need. Top coverage groups are REGAL and FIG. Then probably Energy and parts of Industrials. Best products are LevFin and DCM. M&A is always good for the skills, but obviously WF mid at M&A. That group is also very sweaty for some reason - 3/4 am regularly.
Culture in all groups varies by sector/sub sector. WF overall has decent culture.
does M&A hold the pens on all the M&A deals that WF execute beside REGAL? M&A for WF has also been very strong this year and advocated by seniors for all the OCR info sessions
M&A mostly strong on a few big deals where WF was one of a FEW named advisors, and not the lead. So in those cases, nobody at WF is holding the pen on the model. Thoth in general, M&A would hold the pen, otherwise what would be the point of having an M&A team?
There is a separate team for mid-cap M&A (or mid-cap coverage holds pen themselves). Fig also does all M&A themselves. Notice how REGAL AND FIG are the two strongest groups and do all modeling themselves?
Energy will also hold pen for many sectors.
M&A would do most of TMT, C&R, and Ind. in some cases coverage will hold pen.
