Which Bank Has Hottest Analysts?

Currently a sophomore at NYU. With recruiting kicking up, and because I know I want to get married at 25 or younger, I was wondering what the playing field looks like at different firms?

Here are my current thoughts based on my coffee chats:

1) BNP Paribas, Houston

2) SMBC, Jersey City

3) Moelis & Co (anywhere honestly)

4) Deloitte (all Utah offices)

5) Macquarie DCM

6) PJT RX

7) CVP Paris

8) JPMorgan Small Cap FiG Chicago

Lmk any order changes or banks with baddies I left out. I’m generally into tall eastern Asian women. Thanks!
