Anyone have thoughts on these two places? Particularly for post-MBA associate roles in terms of culture, experience, exit opps, etc. What are post-MBA restructuring exit opps like? Does any of the PJT/Moelis charm rub off on associates or is it for analysts only?

They're actually pretty different value propositions -- both will pay you handsomely though. At PJT, you will only work on restructuring work -- Moelis uses a generalist model, the restructuring group isn't siloed the way it is at PJT. Consequently, PJT's team is pretty small -- less than 60 people in the entire restructuring and special sits group, whereas at Moelis you will be part of a large analyst/associate pool. PJT probably invests a lot more into associates and RSSG in particular gives a ton of very real responsibility to its junior employees. Exits from Moelis will be more varied due to the generalist nature of the role, whereas at PJT you will get looks from the best distressed and turnaround investment firms. Overall if you still don't know what you want to do in the broad world of finance the Moelis offer may be a good place to try out lots of things, but if you know you want to do restructuring or distressed investing, there's no better banking brand name than PJT RSSG, and even at the associate level it carries a ton of weight.
