Drawing inspiration from the on-cycle recruiting page, how did baml levfin and fsg in NY place for pe and hf this cycle? I'm interning at the bank this summer and I've heard that levfin and fsg are the strongest placing groups at the bank so curious about recent performance ---
If further info helps: female at target undergrad business school!!

Any news?

Keen too for both NYC & LDN
Why not just network with the analysts in those groups to find out?......You already have an offer, I'm sure they wouldn't mind speaking with you.

Alum from my school worked there and is in PE now. PM if you want details but it’s a good firm, just not a megafund. (I don’t think he wanted a MF, I think he is very happy and can confirm great placement.)
The bigger question is why you would want to join such a procyclical group at this point in the cycle...
What makes you say those groups are procyclical. Yes, the ticket sizes may shrink but ultimately sponsors are going to have to do deals to realize their returns (as low as they may be). Isn't that where the old motto "buy low, sell high" stems from anyway?

I know a guy that got placed into a top distressed debt shop
what shop out of curiosity?
Heard that someone got KKR buyout alongside names like L Catterton and GI. Anyone else?
I can tell you from first hand experience that BAML Lev Fin and FSG place very well for MF PE. Obviously, you still need to have stuff to show for, but you're definitely not in an disadvantage when recruiting for PE, if you're in one of those groups. I'm not in the stage where I'm recruiting for PE, but very strong deal flow is both teams. Constant exposure to MF deals.
