Splitting hairs or meaningful differences???

First, a little bit about myself. I am an aspiring summer intern at an EB that plans to eventually go into the buyside. I'm mainly looking at Evercore and PJT for M&A advisory as well as Moelis for its generalist platform. Constantly on this website I see rankings, but I've often wondered if there are really any significant differences between these firms in terms of exits/experience or is it just splitting hairs and down to personal preference?

Do you have offers at these places? If not that's what you should be worrying about honestly they're all great places where you will have plenty of exit ops

 

I am either actively networking with good connections, having interviews, or already have offers from them. I just want to know if there are quantifiable differences between the firms and do not believe that having offers in hand from all three is a prerequisite to asking the question.
