Top 3 teams are Industrials, TMT, and LevFin. An1 base is GBP 65k, bonus on par with Barc/UBS

- Industrials: Work hard, party hard culture. By far the best experience in terms of deal exposure with a relatively high amount of M&A but very intense. They are always the last ones turning off the lights. Offers the best exits to UMM/MF either directly or via a top 3 BB. Very high chance of getting a FT due to the high junior turnover

- TMT: Less extreme than Industrials but steady deal flow with great culture overall. Imo offers the best balance of WLB and deal exp. Historically more TelCo/Media oriented but currently building their Tech vertical through MD hires. M&A experience is not the best as the top 3 BB pretty much dominate TMT in EMEA. Good chance of return offer as the team is constantly growing

- LevFin: Team used to be one of the best if not the best on the street. Headcount was cut in half due to low sponsor activity but heard now they are understaffed and working quite long hours. They usually lead on deals and own the model. Good choice if you are interested in debt and credit exits. Historically quite tough to get the FT but would imagine much easier now
