Some we know are notoriously difficult to break into, whether its being selected for an interview or a grueling process - but let's see the overarching thoughts of future, new and experienced employees in the following:
2) Buy Side (Hedge Funds, Asset Management Firms)
3) PE

STFU, no one cares, and no one knows, differs region, season, group, city, even more so than bank. Good candidates = good chances.
lol, not saying this for you take offense, but you seem pretty inexperienced in the industry as far as I can see, and not really correct. You're right that certain asset classes of course are dependent upon location and firm, but overall there are absolutely some names that are harder to get into and will influence future opportunities, superseding all of your points. Ya may not like it but names on a resume make people stand out due to them being notoriously difficult to break into. There's way more involvement and influence that just being a 'good candidate'.
As a site for a significant amount of people who continuously talk about prestige and how to break in and what places are good, people absolutely care.
In which case, I apologise. If I were take a guage, I'd reckon breaking into those top tier hedge funds to be quite hard. The firm itself is already so small, intake smaller. I suppose you have to be a combination of genius, well networked, and a solid and famous track record to be considered.
All good, brother!
Sometimes its hard to even find the gigs being shopped around at some of the "well-established" firms since they go through recruiters, for experience, that is. Like either going on their website directly or being contacted.
As someone who didn't get into the sell-side until later, I personally find it interesting to understand how others perceive all these firms vs. each other and their processes vs. one another (like if you got an offer from 2 or 3 firms in a generalist rotational program, which would you take?). Answers are probably in consideration of both current status and future prospects solely due to the name, or at least to me

Qatalyst probably is the toughest IB to break into. Small summer analyst class and many rounds of interviews. Really need a demonstrated passion for the tech industry.
at my undergrad, the top kids always shot for Blackstone, KKR, Citadel, Evercore, Centerview
