I know what you’re getting at but I doubt any analyst after a year will not have been on a live deal. Generally prestige matters more unless someone gets really exceptional deal experience (like 2-3 really really great deals).

Reason is the same as taking target school kids over semi-targets. sure the semi might have better school experience but one tough to prove (how big a deal is does not always indicate great work experience) and two it’s just safer to assume the target school kid will have better experience by the time they start. Similarly it’s safer to assume that by the time someone from MS M&A starts at a PE firm they have a better two years of training vs JPM Consumer
