Lazard RX vs. PJT RSSG?

Which of these two top groups is best for exits, deal flow, and overall analyst experience?

I know this board is in LOVE with PJT RSSG, but Laz RX seems to continue to dominate most mandates for major restructurings as far as I can tell. Their exits also seem great?

Would love input from people in the industry.

I think there’s something to be said about the quality of the analysts at PJT RSSG compared to Laz RX - those kids are really impressive, and I think you’d be hard pressed to find a single group on the street with exits better than PJT’s. At the end of the day, however, any of the top RX groups, be it PJT, Laz, HL, or Evercore will be the major players on either the creditor or debtor side in the majority of distressed/bankruptcy cases and you can’t go wrong with any one of them.

 

Both good but in NY, PJT RSSG, EVR RX, HL RX are all RX SA so there is potentially some selection bias compared to Laz/MoCo/PWP Generalist SA (FT for MoCo)
