Restructuring vs. M&A
I have always been interested in restructuring but ended up signing with a top M&A group for next summer. I really loved my restructuring class and could see myself going into it for full time. How feasible is it to move from M&A to RX? I know its early and a lot could still change that'd make me want to stay in M&A, just curious if anyone has any experience they'd be willing to share.
M&A exit opps are generally PE shops or else onto a corporation. If you are very good you may get into a HF. On the other side with a restructuring background you can move onto Distressed Hedge Funds, PE shops, corporations and even the healthy side - M&A. The reason I say M&A is also a possibility is because the skillset of a restructuring banker includes all of the technical skills of an M&A banker + more.
I would choose M&A, just to balance out this thread
