Generally: evercore, Goldman, Lazard. Honestly a lot of this is just due to evercore having a disproportionate amount of their analysts from top schools with top grades who are finance hardos.
If you went to Harvard, had a 4.0, and were obsessed with finance, you’re going to have a similar enough outcome from all three firms. And a kid from Rutgers with a 3.5 at a better firm won’t necessarily do better than you.
I understand GS has cracked down a lot on PE recruiting and many funds are hesitant to interview GS analysts out of fear of damaging the relationship.
With regard to the other two: I would say about equal. HC is a strong group at Laz while at EVR it’s still strong but generally not seen in the same light as media/comms/tech
Past two cycles at Laz HC there’s been an Apollo Flagship, 2x KKR, Marathon (distressed) a few SM hedge fund exits (group takes 4/5 analysts in each class) while EVR has had a KKR, 2x TPG, 2x GA, Altas and a lot of A2As (group is much larger, like 8/9 analysts in each class).

Healthcare used to be one of the strongest groups in Lazard. Deal flow has slowed down but exits are still strong
You should check their deals this year - strong deal flow particularly in biopharma.
