Agree Tech/HC are solid here. HC historically was better for exits, but Tech seems to be beating them in the most recent classes.

Group honestly doesn’t matter nearly as much as people think assuming you’re in coverage. For generalist PE, you’ll probably get the most looks from HC, Industrials, Tech and Consumer just given broadness of sectors. Power and NatRes I think are more energy focused, but generalist is still definitely doable. In any of the groups mentioned plus a couple others will get looks from Mega Funds and UMM. Actually getting those offers is harder from Barclays vs GS/MS, but feels like most people who recruit on cycle from Barclays coverage get UMM/brand MM.
