At EB’s, the PCA teams get paid more than M&A and basically every other team in the firm

 

WLB depends on the deal flow (which has come down quite a bit due to changes in macro environment this year), but generally speaking LP-focused shops work lesser hours per week. Unless it's extremely busy, I'd be surprised to see PCA folks staying longer in the office than their peers in M&A/Coverage. Some shops with a heavy focus on GP-leds are known to be sweaty though, such as Evercore...

 

Evercore is a market leader in both LP and GP led deals. As a result they have the largest market share of overall activity. Whether that translates to being the best place to work at...I'm not sure. As the other post mentioned they're known for absolutely grinding kids. Have they split the LP and GP led roles? I know that might be the trend. As a junior, GP led > LP led so that would also influence where I'd want to work.
