Tech / software. Small office of 10ish people. I liked everyone i spoke to but don’t know anyone personally and don’t know what the dynamic of boston vs nyc/sf tech group is like.

 

From what I’ve heard (take with grain of salt, not my own first hand experience), the JPM MD who came from DB is pretty toxic and the office there doesn’t have the best culture.

 

Does anyone know what industry does PJT Boston focus on? Couldn't find any info on LinkedIn, seems like they are M&A generalists?
