EB RX vs BB for 2021 PE Recruitment Cycle

I was wondering how analysts from BB vs EB in RX group or with RX exposure would do during 2021 PE recruitment cycle considering there will be, and already are, a lot of restructuring deals and not as many M&A deals. Will it not make a huge difference because the PE recruitment will kick off practically before any analyst will likely have closed any deal and the internship this summer is shortened and virtual? Or will PEs take into account the fact that there are going to be a lot of opportunities for RX analysts.

I'm just not very familiar with what kinds of things PEs consider/don't consider for their associate recruitment. Thanks!

In that case, is there a point in being at a EB RX unless you're really about working 100+ hours? Why not go to a M&A EB or BB, which will probably be having it a lot chiller in this environment, if PEs won't even care how much experience you're gonna be getting in the next two years. Or are my premises false?

 

I think you're generally right, though from anecdotal experience, my friends in the years above me who were in EB Rx groups last year got HH attention earlier (i.e. a few days/weeks, but that makes a big difference apparently) than my friends in the M&A groups at the same EB.
