Need Help Weighing EB Offers - PWP vs Evercore vs PJ Solomon Partners vs PJT

I got an SA offer from 4 different EBs in NYC: PWP, Evercore, PJ Solomon Partners, and PJT. I guess my priorities for recruiting is first and foremost going to a place with a high chance of receiving a return offer, then the next priority would be top of street comp for FT (should i get the return offer), and finally, having really good PE exits 2 years down the road. Given these priorities, which offer do you think I should accept?

Wouldn’t say this necessarily. Assuming pjt m&a I think the order is:

1.EVR

2.PJT/PWP

3.PJS

EVR is the best here but not by a wide margin. PJT and PWP both have a similar business model where they focus on large cap and trade places in the league tables year to year. All three can get you wherever you want in terms of exits. PJS is not in the same league as the other three
