I'm a sophomore looking into 2024 SA programs and noticed that HL's NY and LA RX offices seem to run very independently from one another. Curious as to which one may be a better destination as a SA and Analyst regarding lifestyle, comp (if different at all), and exit opportunities? From what I believe, the class sizes for NY are larger, but HL's CEO sits out of the LA office.

Both are great groups with excellent deal flows and exits. LA takes ~6 kids per year and regularly sends people to Oaktree, Ares, and GSO. NY takes ~12 kids per year and a quick search on LinkedIn shows they have sent people to APO, Carlyle, and Oaktree. In terms of the deal flow, both are generalist but LA seems to have a stronger focus on liability management (their office head is HL’s co-head of liability management). Can’t go wrong with either group tho.
Insight into CHI or Dallas office RX?
Not too familiar with these two offices, but the best rx group in Chicago is Lazard. A lot of the kids from Northwestern and UChicago ended up in LA or NY.
