Feeders to Megafund

Who are they?

GS TMT
GS FIG - does its analysts only get to join the FIG team of the PE firm?
MS M&A

(Gap)

Lazard M&A
JPM SLF

Mod Edit: This must be the tenth topic this week on this. I've about had all I can take. If you really want to carry on this pointless discussion, search for an older topic.

 

GS TMT/FIG, BX, MS M&A, LAZ, are all top feeders. Since you're going to get the same headhunter access, it doesn't really make sense to rank them or say there's a "gap" between any of them.

 

This is so ludicrous. I'm at a BB not in either of the above sets and we get access to all the essential headhunters (they come to us), and we've historically had excellent placement to megafunds for those interested in it. Ranking groups on this basis is useless.

I meant these are the most targeted groups. Feel free to add any.

Btw, can someone asnwer my GS FIG question?

no. i know a few GS FIG alumni who have joined PE shops as generalists. That said, if the PE shop has a FIG vertical or has FIG deals to work on, they will very likely try to staff you on the FIG projects if you have experience (which just makes sense).

also, it is true that everyone goes through the same headhunters, but GS TMT, FIG and MS M&A (and other top groups) hear from those headhunters before other groups and they interview earlier and with more buyside shops (assuming they want to interview with a lot of shops...they just have more options)
