Most Helpful

Top all around (if balancing hours, exits, culture, reputation in my opinion)

  • GPUG, Transpo, Sponsors

Most prestigious (best exits, worse culture and hours)

  • M&A and Media Comm

Mid tier

  • Healthcare, Tech East, Consumer, Industrials

Bad (awful culture, exits or general rep)

 

It's nichey and mathy and you work with a lot of introverted nerds who run hundreds of "what-if" analyses about rates and FX and default rates and shit all day. I haven't even started my internship yet and already want out just because I've seen models from other firms. They don't even look like regular models it's like abstract theoretical mathematics type of shit.  

 

Are they analytically anal retentive? I'm interning in FIG and that's what my frat brah told me it will be like. Neurotic levels of "what if" spreadsheet models. Not MoStanley but a similar bank.  

 

have heard M&A, M&C, Sponsors, GPUG, Transpo are top. aka what poster above said.

incoming as well, interested in APO/BX/KKR so curious to hear opinions on placement into those funds knowing they're not close to guaranteed (is M&A>>transpo for example?)a

 

BX/APO is most likely from M&A, but any other name you can certainly land from Transpo/GPUG type groups. Not saying BX/APO are impossible but they seem to favor the sweaty execution focused top groups

 

Incoming FT in Sponsors, GPUG, Transpo interested in H&F/TB/SLP - any advice on recruiting for these? Also, does group matter once you get the interview?
