I received offers from both firms for SA24, and can’t decide which to take.
I really don’t enjoy FIG and enjoy secondaries, so I’m leaning towards Evercore. I also enjoyed my interactions with the Evercore team more and culture seems better.
I am just thinking overall what would be a better choice in terms of long-term comp, brand name, and experience. Thank you!

Evercore is GP-Led by the way
When did you interview for Evercore PCA and when did you get your offer?
Just curious why are you interested in secondaries in specific? Isn’t it more specialized than FIG (and almost a sub-vertical of FIG given you spend most of time with alts clients)?
From my understanding Ardea has better pay / hour / culture, but Evercore has better brand name and exit opportunities. Deal flow wise both are strong, but Ardea focuses on insurance and asset / wealth management, so if you want to do secondaries then go with Evercore.
I just really don’t want to work on insurance companies or banks all day
I’d rather work with cool opportunities to structure deals in unique ways and with the best sponsors
Ardea does have better pay but are you sure about hours / culture?
Then take Evercore since you don’t want FIG. How is this a question
I got a kick out of this. You really have no idea what you're signing up for.
Does Ardea really have better pay though? Hard to be 230k TC as an analyst
AN1 Salary for PCA:
Evercore Base: $120k
Sign on Bonus: $25k
Assuming ~80% Bonus: $100k Bonus
Total is closer to ~$250k
EVR PCA. Absolute beast.
Hey, when did you receive the offer? Did you have a superday on thursday ?
