are these good numbers in london? I hear they where getting very good exits

 

On average PJT/EVR exits similar to Citi/BofA but still well below GS/MS/JPM. However, if you have a strong profile anything can happen even from DB/UBS/Barclays

 

Really is not true sadly. The following arguments will be considering proportion.  PJT on a distressed / credit basis, exits the best in the entirety of London. On an opportunistic basis, they exit the best out of all EB's and similarly to mid-tier BB.  EVR, even when considering proportions, is still more similar overall to DB et al.  PJT, on a buyout basis, is more similar to DB et al. too. Pretty clear why, but if still you don't understand, I shall elaborate.

But yes you are right, the brand thing can be overblown at times. If you are exceptional, you can pull off anything. EVR RX is not even a top 4 player in EMEA yet they still had an impressive exit this year.

 

Top 3 BBs are always best in London (RX aside).

For most groups, Citi/BofA is stronger than EVR/PJT M&A, given how conservative Europe is, and the subsequent weighting of financing in winning mandates (both Citi/BofA avg. deal value is over €2bn, PJT/EVR is around €1bn). Would only consider taking these EBs when it's their top groups vs. a weak group at these BBs.

 

Smaller pool to choose from for select Credit / Distressed / Opportunistic opps. You have ~5-6 notable banks with decent group sizes operating within something adjacent to that domain and maybe a dozen or so other levfin guys at the BB's.  Smaller pool of talent than vanilla buyout with proportionately a higher level of spots (everyone and their grandma is trying to expand to some of these strategies) = Higher likelihood of HH inbounds. You can't just hire everyone from PJT.
