I have to choose which division I want to spend all my summer in, and given that restructuring is relatively niche I was wondering if it was a good area to intern in. I found some of the deals quite interesting and the place I'm going to is pretty top notch at it.

If you find it interesting, then go for it. Are you a junior?
also which bank are you at?
Laz/HL Europe
It depends what you want out of your career. I think rx is more interesting and have always been interested in distressed situations.
M&A probably gives you a little broader toolkit / exit opps etc.
Also - which bank probably matters too.
Laz/HL Europe
Also wondering what exactly you would do in a Summer Internship. I know if I were in a m&a group it would mostly be company profiles with comparables but for RX i'm a bit unsure about it
Summers at Laz m&a you wont do much (know few people that did their summers there) and the conversion rate is pretty low. That said I would go m&a at Laz and Rx at HL. HL is MM focused for m&a and isn't as prestigious in Europe for m&a, nevertheless pretty strong in Rx. Laz on the other hand is very strong in m&a, if you don't know what you want to do go for m&a, and try to land in a coverage/industry group where you will do both m&a & Rx.
agree with everything these guys said. Good advice.
