2017: Tiers based on exit opps

Got this from a friend working at a top MF fund and the list overall seems right so reposting here. He said these groups are tiered based on an # of offers / # of analysts in each class basis. Again, this is the list they use there and does not represent what everyone necessarily thinks. Before we start, let me say that at our fund we don't really care about which specific groups you come from. We hire smart people who know what they are doing.

1a. PJT R&R, PJT M&A, GS FIG, GS TMT NY
1b. Lazard M&A/RX, Evercore M&A, MS M&A NY, MS Tech Menlo, HL RX NY, Moelis NY/LA, GS CRH, JPM M&A, MS C&R
1c. BAML M&A, BAML Sponsors, GS Industrials, CS Sponsors, Rothschild RX, MS Industrials, Evercore RX, CS M&A, JPM Healthcare, Greenhill M&A, Barclays P&U, MS Media & Comm, PWP

Chances are a good number of you guys will get offers at one of the groups above. Congrats, these groups fill more than 80% of the spots in the top funds.

Disclaimer: I was at a group on the list and now at a PE shop.

True, and I don't think its ranked within tiers either because I expect smaller groups like PWP, Greenhill M&A, Evercore Rx for example would have higher placement percentages (# of offers / # of analysts) than bigger BB groups like BAML sponsors or CS M&A, but they are all within one tier so it seems like they all fall within a range.
