GS HC vs EVR RX nyc

For a lateral associate position.

I’m interested in restructuring/distressed but not 100% sure if I want to make a career out of it.

I want to make a choice to maximize buyside options in the associate level. I’m currently in mid-BB.

Hey congrats on where you are and best of luck going forward. I can’t speak too much about buyside exit ops for associates at GS but I have seen RX / RX-oriented investment banking associates at Moelis and HL move over to buyside roles. Granted I think most of the few that I have seen in my limited experience did first make it to VP at the bank and then moved to kinda RX/credit oriented roles on the buyside but I have seen associate/VPs that I had worked with at those places move over. I think EVR RX may be fairly comparable to the Moelis/HL people but I don’t know for sure. Just figured you may appreciate this data in your decision making. Best wishes and good luck again :) regards

Congrats on the two options. Hard choice to be made here, honestly I'm surprised that EVR RX took on laterals as this past summer, some associates did not have that much to do. I guess they're loading up for the next downturn. I'd also add that there continues to be a lot of HC focused PE shops, if that is of interest to you and obviously, HC will continue to be a very important sector over the next few years/decades even.

 

Because I know a couple A2As who went to buyside. Their deal experience of being in banking for 3-4 years was helpful for them in interviews, and they could also recruit at shops that are 2 and out pre-MBA. 

Not certain about this, but I believe recruiting for buyside as a post-MBA associate is a bit tougher unless you stay on as VP, and you'd have fewer options.
