I noticed that HL has a RX team that is one of the top groups on the street and seems to stand above the other HL groups. Are exits and pay significantly better in RX than M&A at HL? I want to know because it gives me some insights as to what I should try and pursue for SA roles.

Depends a lot on which M&A group and if you actually want to do RX
What are some stronger groups in HL and how do they compare to RX?
RX is inherently the strongest group at HL but seems to be slowing down a bit. An RX MD recently switched his Oil and Gas restructuring team to Oil and Gas M&A.
Strongest team at HL CF is Business Services. Industrials is also quite strong. Tech is fairly weak at HL.
HL M&A = Harris Williams, HL Rx = Moelis. Hope this answers your question
Thanks. Makes a lot of sense.
No this is not true. HL M&A is a heavy hitter in the MM and are much more comparable in deal experience and exposure to Baird/Blair/Jef/rothschild and some other banks like RBC/DB/UBS.
HW does smaller regional deals where the likes of stifle / Lincoln / RJ are active
Then again there are no banks that do as many deals as HL so to better answer your question: HL M&A is top of the top in terms of fee chasing , soul crushing sweatshop
Maybe. I just named the first MM that came to mind
Well they get paid more than HL M&A...
