is perhaps the best M&A banker to have ever graced this industry......he's up there with the likes of Perella, Tom Hill, and Gleacher

If you can manage to sneak your way into his firm, the opportunities are limitless.

 

The first reply is probably referring to Lazard, where BusinessWeek implies Wasserstein (the man) is spending his time. I've had friends go to Lazard and they've said the culture is pretty much the status quo to the street, but implied that you are a bit more invovled with the senior people. They all have worked in Real Estate.

Don't know anything about Wasserstein and Co, the investment vehicle, lots of publishing assets - just bought Penton Business Media to go along with their Prism (Primedia Business Assets). I think they also have a stake in New York Magazine.
