How are exit opps. from Credit Suisse (not L.A.)

I'm thinking about trying to find a gig at CS. I know that exit opportunities are heavily dependent on one's company and group as well as their performance.

My question is Credit Suisse is a Bulge Bracket, but obviously not as strong as Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Lehman, etc...

I understand the ibanking analyst lifestlye is not something to get excited about and many people want to exit into PE, HF, or VC after their 2 year analyst contract comes to an end.

How have Credit Suisse analyst done in terms of getting into solid Private Equity, Hedge Funds or Venture Capital firms?

I would be surprised to see any KKR, Blackstone, Carlyle etc.. though I might be wrong.

Can someone provide any information.

Guys at CS have gone to Blackstone. I know of two -- one going to London the other to NY. CS Sponsors places the lights out, better than 99% of the groups on the street.

 

damn. I'm extremely impressed with certain groups at CS. Sure, overall they might be below Goldman and Morgan Stanley, but certain groups such as Sponsors are among the top 3 groups in all of Wall Street along with GS TMT and MS M&A.

 

I don't know about top 3, I'd save higher spots for UBS/cs la. On the other hand, cs sponsors as well as many of the other cs groups place very well.

 

How is CS tech group in NY in terms of deal flow, exit options and lifestyle? I know CS tech is top notch but does that apply only to SF or includes NY as well.

 

Heard CS energy is killing it. Sponsors is also known for great exit opps but they might not be as active these days. M&A might be next best
