Comp: Historically slightly higher than M&A but this depends on which bucket you get and the year (bonus pool). Personally the pay differences (maybe 5-15k for analyst one) between secondary advisory and M&A is so minimal for analysts and associates I wouldn't factor it in. 

Exits: Same as Evercore PCA. It is regarded as a top shop (big ones are Evercore/PJT/Jefferies) in the space and handles a lot of LP deals (if Evercore PCA is 50/50 GP/LP, PJT is 35/65 GP/LP). Although GP is growing faster and has a wider variety of deal types, LP is better for exits (this is debatable so let me explain). LP deals - like the CALSPERS 6 billion dollar deal led by PJT, provide exposure to the secondary PE deal teams which is where most analysts want to exit to. Additionally, LPs go through a very similar sell-side process to M&A, so when you transition to PE you are more prepared.
