pls lmk what you think thx
I highly suggest you delete this because you are gonna get MS’d to death.
JPM 🆙🆙
Forgot to put Natixis as #1
Lazard??
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
PJT M&A and GS TMT on the same level is crazy
Fair point honestly
Forgot about Q - should be grouped similar to CVP
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
Move PWP up one tier then I'd say that list is pretty much perfect
They are doing well now but TBH they were in a shaky position a couple of years ago and quite frankly they just lack the level of consistency that some of the other top EBs have. Add to that the fact that their exits are honestly not that great
IMO PWP is closer to the "Barc/BofA/Citi/GHL/GUGG" than the "other GS/MS groups/MOE/LAZ/HL RX" (which is a top group). They get a little overrated bc of their awesome comp this year
This list is spot on. You can alter it by upgrading Raine or LionTree, depending on whether it's a TMT focused list
