I was wondering if anyone can comment on the differences between PJT and Houlihan at the associate level for restructuring. I may have to make a decision between the two in the near term. I know the analyst program would be a no brainer for PJT but less sure of the associate program.
I was thinking these are the primary components that I would like to know about:
1) Comp 2) Lifestyle / Hours 3) Exit Opps
But would definitely appreciate any color.
Thanks

Based on what I've heard HLHZ will be more creditor side and PJT will be more debtor side, so think about the pros and cons of working with funds and institutions vs the distressed cos themselves. I would do PJT even though debtor side representation sounds even more intense from a lifestyle standpoint.

bump - am curious as well, how these two RX shops compare at the post-MBA level?
