BX M&A/PJT M&A

Curious to hear about why PJT M&A is considered a notch below other elite groups (PJT RSSG, GS TMT/FIG, MS M&A, CVP Biopharma) when it was considered one of the best groups out there when it was under Blackstone? Obviously a great spot but seems like people on this site treat PJT M&A as a lot worse than what BX M&A used to be.

Just the caliber of recruits at PJT M&A isn't what it was used to be. Look up Linkedin and compare M&A exits. I am sure kids are getting all the looks but just having hard time converting them.
