hows JPM exits for regal?
How about UBS? Is REPE recruiting more BB-or-bust to get looks or is prestige of BB bank still important?
How is Jefferies for this? They were on a 2.5b deal back in februrary. I saw somewhere.
I know a few guys from Eastdil that went to blackstone
If I want to work at BX RE, which bank's real estate group should I start at?
CS places a good amount of people in BX RE
baml jpm gs ms citi top 5 on the league table

RE isn't as BB or bust for exits. Came across a guy at Carlyle on LinkedIn the other day that came from Baird of all places. Had no idea Baird even had a RE group. I would think the groups that do private capital would have the most exposure to PE fund managers. PJT and Evercore come to mind.
What do you mean by private capital? Fund raising?

baml real estate IB group hands down.. go take a look at their analyst exits on LinkedIn
Don’t waste your time working at these banks, just go work for a smaller repe fund and lateral if you can’t get your coveted MF spot right away. These companies value actual real estate deal experience much more than what you’re doing in a baml re group.
