GS TMT vs HL RX (NYC) for MBA Associate

Fairly interested in both TMT M&A and Restructuring.

Worked in Finance pre-MBA and interested in going over to the holy buyside a couple years down the road.

Should I go for brand name (i.e. Goldman) or niche/expertise (i.e. Restructuring)?

I used to work in HL's RX division and found the culture incredibly toxic and draining. The associates do well there but if you're looking at a boutique as an associate there are probably options out there that would pay more / work slightly less

Also, they are transitioning to having you do some M&A work in HL RX since there isn't enough deal flow to go around. If this was for like PJT, Lazard, or CVP's RX groups then I think it would be a different story

GS TMT is a large platform, maybe too large given their rampant hiring during the pandemic, and can support you across a variety of functions and companies. Would probably take them

 

I'm a bit confused - How do HL RX analyst exit so well if they have to do MM M&A work? 

Also where you in LA?
