Is there any reason to choose a BB such as GS/MS/JPM over an EB such as PJT/Evercore/Lazard for M&A?
Seems that the EBs pay more, staff more leanly, offer the same (if not better) exit opps, etc. Why would someone choose GS/MS/JPM?

Top BB's have a stronger brand name outside of finance. Top groups in the top BB's generally have the best placement. Hours also tend to be harsher at PJT/LAZ. This is coming from someone at an EB so take it as you will.
