Post-MBA Restructuring Exit Opps?

Hi all, I'm currently in corporate strategy headed to an M7 MBA program in the fall and interested in restructuring. Just wondering if anyone has any idea where people end up if they leave at the Associate/VP level from a top restructuring firm (Lazard, PJT, Evercore, HL etc.)? It seems like the skillset is more niche than M&A or industry coverage so some of the traditional exits (corp dev etc.) may be difficult to land. If you stay in restructuring, anyone have a sense for how the lifestyle compares to traditional banking at a more senior level? I would think that it's a little more predictable with court dates etc. but also probably more intense.

Hey potentialRXMonkey, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
