Baird, Blair, and the better RJ groups (Tech/Consumer/RE from what I know) will all have similar exits. Meaning the occasional top PE but typically place pretty well in MM funds. Blair probably being the best of the three, although group dependent.
Not as familiar with Lincoln but feel as if they would be a step behind the above.
How does HW fall in here?
Analyst at HW and can provide some perspective. Best consistent exit from HW is HIG (like 5+ people a year go there across funds/offices) but some people will get looks at other large funds. HW is pretty neat in that the firm is very supportive of recruiting to the point where funds will directly reach out to our recruiting team to collect resumes.
While I’d say raw placements skew LMM/MM, I know plenty of folks that had SDs and got looks at fairly recognizable UMM funds as well as MM/Growth funds within MFs. If your goal is just getting into PE and you’re not too particular on firm, I don’t think there’s a bank out there that has such a strong support system to help you get an offer. That being said, if your goal is to maximize for landing the most prestigious offer possible I’d probably go with Blair out of these names mentioned.
