Pretty much self-explanatory title. I was wondering how do EBs compare to American BBs not only in terms of prestige and exits to buy-side, but also with regards to culture and hours. In particular, I was interested in getting some insight on PJT, Evercore, HL, Lazard, both for M&A and restructuring. Thanks!

Paywise EBs will pay more for worse hours
Some EBs have a good culture while other's don't.
Thanks for the reply Pan, but I'm reading a lot of different opinions on this forum regarding hours at EBs. Many say firms like PJT have a great culture and do not overwork analysts, has no bullshit face-time policies, so on and so forth... anyone has any insight?
The best advice I can give you is to get offers from two boutiques and then discuss. No point discussing at the moment it’s splitting hairs.
Mo&Co/Rothschild are know to work their analysts hard, but at any EB you’ll work more than at BBs where you have way more support staff. Yes PJT has a good culture if you’re on a live deal they still expect the same from you. Note that their class is 10-12 people so take that into account too.
Generally speaking, do you believe that experience at GS/MS/JPM > PJT/LAZ/RTH in London?
