Anyone have rough estimates of what percentage of kids from their group gets into buyside?
If you have estimates, what type of group are you in? BB, EB etc...?

Consumer in MM, I'd say 80-90% of kids...it's definitely the overwhelming majority
Lmao what MM consumer group is getting buyside looks outside of 6 person family offices
I'm missing the joke...do you not think groups like WB, Baird, HW, RayJay, Piper, LazMM place people into buyside roles?
Totally depends. Top BB groups usually >80%. EBs slightly less given the high pay. Lower BB and top MM prob ~50% given the lack of opportunities for them. Random boutiques and MMs are much less considering very few high paying funds will give them looks.
Is it because 100% of people want to get a buy side offer and 80% of them get it? Or it’s because 80% wants to got buyside and they got them?
50% want to go buyside and 80% get a buyside offer
It's not at all difficult to get "a" buyside offer - tons of LMM shops out there with varying standards. The top firms are very challenging to get into, but if you just want "buyside" you can absolutely find something
At least 75% of my class did
Do most people who go to buyside do it because they genuinely are more interested in it, or just because its what everyone else is doing?
Definitely the latter. It's the most obvious, well-paying path and everyone goes there. Corp dev is totally roasted in top BB/EB groups as boring, career dead end etc... obviously that is not true at all, but if everyone around you is going to PE you might think that is the most logical path
Do people at EBs still consider it higher paying when on average given most people won't make partner, IB probably comes out a bit higher?
