PJT > Evercore?

Read the comments on that thread lol: 

Can say the same thing about PJT M&A - minus the point about senior exodus. PJT has just been hiring more geriatric seniors who sit on their ass and do nothing while getting paid a nice $10mil, all while analysts get cranked by the week's new lateral Director from CS / BofA trying to make a name for themself by leading the efforts to pitch a $75mm niche Utilities or Insurance capital raise. Probably explains why all but 1 of our Class of 2019 Associates left the firm before being up for VP promote...

Much like EVR RX, PJT RSSG has done a great job of keeping a small, quality team with top-tier deal reps. On the M&A side, though, it just seems to be a bloodbath for shitty deals and "client relationship building" at the expense of quality.

Def pjt

Might be doxing myself but I lateraled from Evercore to PJT. The experience has been much better overall and akin to how former Analysts described their time at EVR 4-5 years ago  

PJT M&A is sweatshot

Evercore.

EVR is the firm that would typically come to mind when people think of an EB, but PJT has stronger talent, better exits, and more prestige. It was Blackstone's IB group spinout. If you like watches, think of it like Rolex vs Audemars Piguet.

But you will be at a great firm if you get an offer at either one.

Can we all finally agree evercore is starting to suck

Is it just natural phenomenon that when you chase growth you sacrifice prestige ? 

Let deal fees speak for themselves… PJT m&a is not really there yet
