PWP private equity placement is elite?

was bored and on linkedin and saw one of their most recent classes had placements of Carlyle, Warburg, Blackstone, KKR, General Atlantic, and more in a single class. Isn't that crazy or just me? For an analyst class of about 20 isnt that absolutely absurd?

Classic post promoting a bank. Princetonistheb3st - enjoy your time at PWP. Check again, not the same year

 

Is PWP an "EE-LEET BOO-TEEK?"

Placement is solid. That being said, I don't think all of those are from the same year. There are some banks with better placement but PWP will generally position you pretty well.

Love the "EE-LEET BOO-TEEK" dig haha. I have never actually heard someone say Elite Boutique irl. They're just fucking boutique banks lmao.

A question though. Based on what this site refers to as "EE-LEET BOO-TEEKs", is it safe to say EVR/CVP/PJT/MOE/LZD all have better placements than PWP?
