Best GS Groups for PE recruiting
Got an opportunity to work at GS, was wondering which groups have the best exit opps for PE.

I'm not in IBD but TMT seems to be the best group in IBD period.
Historically, TMT has done very well for MF recruiting.
FIG is right there with it in terms of recruiting opportunities (first industry group on the Street, long and storied tenure as the most lucrative merger practice at the firm), but you see a lot of guys leave early for HF or other opportunities.
CRG has done very well in the last few cycles, placing several analysts in MFs. They take a lower number of analysts relative to TMT and FIG so one could argue their strong placement is better on a relative basis.
NRG and Healthcare are probably the next two, but unless you have an eminent interest in either of these industries, you're better off shooting for one of the three mentioned first if you simply want the best and broadest PE recruiting opportunities.
what about industrials?
This has been discussed extensively.
Almost every group at GS is top notch for PE recruiting. TMT / FIG / CRG / HC can and will place you into any LBO shop you can imagine. RE / NRG can and will place you into their respective specific industry shops. Industrials places well too but maybe a notch worse (comparatively) and I've heard the culture is pretty bad there.
Groups to avoid for PE recruiting are probably PSI and any financing groups
Also, you should do a search here on WSO. As mentioned, this topic's been discussed many times
Also interested. From reading through other WSO threads/talking to bankers, seems that its 1. TMT/FIG 2. CRG/HC 3. Industrials With NRG/RE primarily industry specific exits. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, anyone know the class sizes in these groups?
I hate you OP
How is the culture in NRG?
