Haha my dad worked at both.

Drexel was probably more prestigious. Of course, it failed. Parts of it were picked up by DLJ, then UBS, now Moelis. Other parts went on to form funds like Canyon Partners. Even though the firm failed, a lot of guys went on to do some cool shit.

Kidder got absorbed by Paine Webber which got folded into UBS.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?

IgnatiusVery impressive. All I could muster were some Nathan's Hot Dogs with Meriwether and a blunt with Gutfriend.

Ignatius in Cleveland? If so, nice man me too. '08

Hell Yeah! Graduated in '06

Mani Hani may not have the same prestige but their placement to Forstmann, Little is the best.

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
