Greenhill for the best exit opps.
Provided it doesn't go bankrupt--previous threads have indicated very little dealflow
For what it’s worth, it may not be end of world even if GHL goes bankrupt. I had a friend who signed a FT offer with Gleacher (maybe a bank that was then somewhat comparable to what GHL is now), and then by the time he was supposed to start the bank closed. The partners / people who hired him there helped him land a job at Gugg (which was smaller and maybe more “elite” then than it might be perceived here now). My friend went on to a good PE program (2+2) and HBS path then went on to one of the hot hedge funds coming out of bschool. Hoping this info may help. Good luck
Which mfer giving me MS at 5 AM…. 😡
Echo the above - Greenhill punches far above its weight in terms of exit oops, so if you’re focused on PE go Greenhill for the exit opps + generally relatively good culture and wlb there. Even if you’re not that interested in PE, go Greenhill for the extra PE exit optionality - Greenhill is sort of implicitly 2 and out but if you want to stay longer in banking there will be plenty of lateral opportunities.
This is really a question of whether you'd rather do FIG coverage or M&A.
If you do chose M&A, Greenhill is the better franchise no doubt.
