Private funds group from M&A
I’m a 2nd year analyst in a BB looking for some sort of better work/life balance but still doing interesting stuff. Is PFG a good choice?

PFGs at BBs usually have a secondary advisory arm that does some interesting work, but PFG at evercore is just fundraising. PCA is where their secondary advisory team sits
PFG is less interesting work and hours are still long. You’ll be a very glorified admin, zero real qualitative or quant work. Lots of trackers and calendars. Would avoid
Yes -- try to join PCA at an Evercore/Lazard/PJT (whomever has opened a practice). That’ll be the best combo of interesting work and (marginally) better WLB.
Second this! PCA really is superior in terms of technical skills + exit opportunities. Also more highly regarded internally.
