I highly suggest you delete this because you are gonna get MS’d to death.

 

What is this joke LMAO

JPM at #2 lol

Greenhill at #30?! You do realize that it's still a top-notch place with better exits than some of the firms in your top 10...

No Lazard?! 

BofA at #16?! They did have awful bonuses but that doesn't negate their status as the de-facto top 4 BB...

Barclays and Citi for sure shouldn't be before PWP, considering that their IBD is about to be "restructured" 

 

Lol...congrats on JPM. Anyone worth their weight knows the rankings should be similar to what follows

PJT RSSG

EVR RX

CVP

PJT M&A/GS TMT

EVR M&A/HL RX

MOE/PWP/MS M&A

All other GS Groups/ All other MS Groups

Liontree/Gugg/Raine/JP Morgan

GHL/Barc/Citi/Bofa

Rest of firms are not relevant anyways (Similar to the MBA Associate or Stern/IU Kelley Hardos)

 

PJT M&A shouldn't be the same tier as GS TMT...

Switch EVR M&A and EVR RX

MS M&A is a tier above MOE/PWP

GUGG is not above GHL/Barc/Citi/BofA

Liontree and Raine are kinda hard to rank... for TMT they are tier 1, but overall not sure where they would be 

 

Fair points and good feedback. Couple names that are generally interchangable

 
Most Helpful

1. GS TMT, MS M&A, EVR M&A, PJT RSSG, CVP

2. EVR RX, PJT M&A, Q

3. All other GS/MS groups, JPM, MOE, LAZ, HL RX

4. Barc, BofA, Citi, PWP, GHL, GUGG

5. DB, UBS, JEFF, HL M&A, Raine, LionTree

6. Nomura, HSBC, BNP, WB, Baird

 

This list is spot on. You can alter it by upgrading Raine or LionTree, depending on whether it's a TMT focused list
