Evercore M&A NY vs. Greenhill M&A NY

Hey guys.

I wanted to get some updated views on this. In terms of deal flow, private equity placement, and prestige, is Evercore M&A NY or Greenhill M&A NY better as an analyst? Also, going forward, is there one firm that is better positioned? Thanks in advance.

 

I am not affiliated to either of the firms and my objective judgement call is Greenhill is slightly better. Both of them are pretty good firms but Greenhill has done some really big deals during the year. Evercore is a good option if you fancy restructuring. The analyst programs in all prestigious boutiques are almost equally good so you should not worry too much about it.

 

they're both phenomenal boutiques, but EVR is moving more along to Lazard's model where they're building out a capital markets practice (although Laz trying to spin off/sell their capital markets division if I remember correctly) vs Greenhill staying pure advisory.

 

FWIW, I would go to Evercore. Both are fantastic places to work and have top caliber people, but I just liked Evercore as a firm better. In general, it looks like Evercore is on the upswing while Greenhill is in a bit of a slump in terms of dealflow. A couple of things to note though are that at Greenhill you're a true generalist while at Evercore, analysts typically specialize after a couple of months. I have heard good things about hours for both in the NY offices, but Greenhill as a whole seems to work a bit less.
