RX and M&A at atypical firm thoughts?

Hi,
Just wondering what you think about being in an RX, Special Situations, and M&A Advisory group at a relatively new (non-investment) firm on street (think something like a consulting firm..etc.) I have an offer for a summer internship with a new arm of the firm where I will sit on the IB RX group. Do you think this will provide a good experience and could learn a lot relative to other top firms in the field (HL,PJT, Evercore?)

starts with an h right. take it but they don't have a ton of deal flow 

 

No H either. I mean honestly I understand naming the firm is highly relevant, they work in the MM, but rather I’m just wondering if being in that group alone, no matter what firm, is going to provide a good experience relative to other rx shops or even traditional IB at MM firms? I find restructuring really interesting and am just curious if gaining exposure to that regardless of the firm will be a good experience or look good?

this is a pointless post lmao there is zero downside to this. RX is RX. I've seen a kid at a tier 4 shop lateral into a tier1/tier2 Rx seat after 1 year ft from a low semi target background . It's also a trial run to see if you are cut out to pursue it full time.
