In reply to Chris. Nope, but you can easily Google "investment banking league tables" periodically and look up rankings in different regions and for different products.

Great article! Do you know of any resources to look into on where BofA is ranked in each coverage/product group? Thanks

In reply to D. You should ideally try to network with people in the group you want to join, but some networking is always better than no networking.

Hey Brian, I was wondering in terms of summer analyst recruiting if it matters whether you network with a product group person or a coverage group person. I know some banks split those two recruiting processes up (capital markets vs investment banking), so I’m not sure if networking with an ECM person would help me in recruiting for a coverage group.
Any insight here would be appreciated. Thanks!

Great article! I was wondering if you knew anything about Shareholder Advisory Groups. They seem to be small and there’s not that much information out there about them. It seems like an interesting opportunity since it’s more qualitative.

In reply to yes. Maybe at some banks, but not universally.

Understand your comment around the hours etc. but in general would you say lev fin / coverage groups be slightly more relaxed than m&a?

In reply to Wang. If your goal is private equity, do M&A. Working in ECM is a very poor way of getting into PE because you won't gain relevant deal experience.

In reply to Yifei Yang.

Is M&A team more highly regarded than emc team?

But im quite interested in ipo deals.

Do you mean the exit ops for m&a always better than those graduated from emc team?

Anyways, my ultimate goal is going to pe fund. So will you suggest me to choose m&a team?
