SUMMER 2023 Offer Decision: GS Nat Res vs PWP M&A/RX
Which offer would be better for PE exits? Interested in UMM/MF. Particularly in value oriented and distressed funds. I know gs natural resources is kinda niche otherwise this would be obvious. Leaning Perella because the pay seems to be higher and the culture is better than Gs. Curious to hear some thoughts. Thanks!
PJT unless you're very interested in Infra PE, this is a pretty good thread https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/gs-ibd-nat-vs-pjt-ma
This is Perella Weinberg not PJT.
I'm retarded sorry working rn, would still honestly go with PWP for the same reasons but ymmv
PWP is dogshit, has zero exits to Megafunds
GS NR > PWP
Interesting. Curious to hear the reasoning behind this?
Constant deal flow including financing ECM / lev fin activity whenever it comes back. if you go NR, try to specialize in Chemicals, that’s probably the best part of NR. Know folks at both platforms
Nat resources blows… go to an independent (like PWP) for better pay, experience, and exits
If you are dead set on MF don't go with PWP. For whatever reason, they place pretty poorly in that space compared to their competitors despite a very good analyst experience. Probably self-selecting but can't say anything with certainty on that except that observed MF exits have not been strong.
Anyone have clarity on why PWP does not seem to place well?
Every other thread has a different opinion regarding this. Think on average they also have more A2A since people aren’t sprinting for the door. But would like to hear perspective on exits.
More A2A compared to other places
Option always exists, they have exit to every single MF.
Thy get plenty of MF opps and send kids to great funds (especially for 20-25 man classes). Additionally lots of people at PWP (and places like EVR/CVP) self select to what they’re interested in because Mf PE sucks. How is UMM at $350k not a good exit when people work more hours on slightly larger deals at a MF for less money?
Also, can confirm that people stay at PWP because associate pay is insane, plus a good culture.
Hey man, not denying that there is self selection and totally understand the class is smaller too, but can you list some of these UMMs? I did several LinkedIn searches and can't really find any good placements.

How does the associate pay stack up to other EBs?
What is associate comp progression like?
What the hell is wrong with the US? pwp over GS?
Oop I chose PWP over MS so I guess Im getting fucked
Did the same thing (am a 1st year analyst) and know that quite a few people do choose PWP and other EBs over top 3 BBs. Most people don’t regret their choice
