Houlihan Lokey vs Jefferies vs Rothschild

I'm looking to recruit these three firms for their New York offices. Anyone have any insight on which would be the best to take an offer from. Culture, exit opps, deal flow, upward mobility, etc.

Roth/Jeff RX are also kinda crazy ngl. 

Roth Advised on Puerto Rico's RX. Enough fucking said like are you kidding? Not to mention their European exposure.

Jefferies's UCC mandates goes insane and their higher profile debtor focused mandates are getting real high in them numbers (2,000 mm).
