MS/GS vs PJS

Deciding between one of the first two banks and PJ Solomon.

What are your thoughts? I'm specifically interested in P&U/Infra and see that the group at PJS is only 5 years old whereas GS/MS regularly tops the league tables in this area.

Any thoughts on this? Comments on culture/pay?

This is a no-brainer. PJS is great but they're known for their role in consumer-focused transactions. If you're specifically into infra GS/MS have the upper-hand without a doubt - especially for exits.
