Career Resources
Would personally go GS
And that’s because?
Personally feel that GS and M&A will give you more optionality in the future for career ops than HL and RX because the brand name is bigger and the work is less niche
You won’t have a life outside of work at either of these places so really comes down to rx or tech m&a. I had a few super days for rx at pjt, evercore, etc… and found rx too niche for me.
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?
What kind of buyside you are interested in will determine your answer imo
Silverlake type - GS TMT
Oaktree type - HL RX
