Depends on the group you're referring to at HL...

Restructuring/SSG then the advantage goes to Houlihan...

hlhz corp (i am assuming you are referring to this dep) unless you get stifel tech

you wouldn't take hlhz corp over stifel tech? I could be completely off base here, but I think a lot of your time at stifel will be working on co-managed equity offerings as opposed to pure M&A at HLHZ.

Yea dude, he's right. Not sure if the Weisel brand carries as much clout as it did during the tech bubble.

 

i actually wouldnt because hlhz corp is pretty bad...bad hours + bad bonus. I know people in stifel working on interetsing deals but not so much hlhz corp.

That being said, I didnt (or ever will) work for either of those..so this is just from a third party perspective

 

Haha Ricqles "that being said, I didn't (or ever will) work for either of those" a little bit of bankness condescension

I like it

 

Ricqitty Rick brings up a good point. However, if you want to do PE, you'll do way more M&A at Hokey Pokey (that's pretty much all they do). From what I understand, Stifel Weisel whatever does mostly co-manager equity deals, which doesn't lead to the best learning experience and it will make recruiting for PE more difficult. The hours and the bonus are pretty bad at Houlihan Zuken Howard Pokey though so if you're concerned with comp/lifestyle may want to take that into consideration.
