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).
