With the recent thread about evercore the only other boutique I can think of that competes with a 2 year analyst program is PJT M&A. Is PJT now seen as the boutique for M&A with consistent top tier exits, smaller class, generalist analyst program across industries, and higher pay?
Paired with RSSG, I can’t see why PJT won’t be the better boutique.

Read the comments on that thread lol:
the reply to that comment:
Def pjt
Why’s that?
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
What does PJT do better at that makes the experience superior?
PJT M&A is sweatshot
How?
Bruh stop micro-ranking the EB’s they are all the fucking same lol
Agreed. PJT/EVR/LAZ/MOE more or less same shit, difference is negligible. FWIW though I've heard good things from multiple people regarding culture at PJT...
Agreed. Add in CVP and PWP there too even if there’s differences in comp/culture it’s the same Fucking thing.
EVR > CVP/PJT/MOE/PWP/LAZ
Tough hours at most too
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
