Greenhill

I did some searching on Greenhill, but the info/opinions I found seemed to be a bit outdated. What's the general consensus on the experience/people/exit opportunities of Greenhill. I'm attracted to the smaller size and the generalist nature of the analyst program, but was curious about how the firm is viewed. Particularly interested to see if anyone knows of people moving on to hedge funds from this firm?

Thanks in advance

I don't know how exit opps

I don't know how exit opps are versus PE, but I'm assuming not much different. Greenhill is a top boutique and places very, very well. Depending on the fit and the culture, I am sure most of the Greenhill analysts chose the firm over plenty of BB offers, as they are pretty selective and have a great reputation. I have never heard a discussion of top boutique IB's without the mention of Greenhill. They do some pretty big deals too.

Greenhill

Just interviewed with Greenhill, and according to people at the firm the exit ops are great. As far as hedge funds, they had a guy go to Tiger Capital last year. They've placed kids at KKR, Providence, TPG, etc. So as long as you do well while you're there, you will be able to interview at any of the top funds. Analysts also told me that they build models from scratch so you really get to know your finance there. Great firm. They also have nice perks like a company gym (free membership) where they provide the clothes to work out in.
