Best Bank/Desk Combo? From an IB perspective

Hi,

I was wondering what the best Bank/Desk combo is. For context, I'm more familiar with IB, so I know that in IB, it's groups like PJT RSSG and GS TMT. I promise I'm not trying to gauge prestige, but is there one desk at a bank that is widely considered the best of the best?

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“The mentor provided extremely detailed and thoughtful feedback throughout our session. What I appreciated most was that the advice was not generic. He took the time to understand my background, past experiences, and the specific roles I am currently recruiting for, and then tailored his suggestions accordingly. He also connected many of his recommendations to his own professional background and experiences, which made the feedback much more practical and credible. Instead of simply telling me what to change, he explained why certain answers or approaches would be more effective and how an interviewer might interpret them. He also shared specific examples from his own experience to illustrate his points. I came away from the session with a much clearer understanding of both my strengths and the areas I should improve, as well as several concrete ways to strengthen my interview preparation. Overall, the session was extremely helpful, personalized, and actionable, and I would definitely work with him again.”
