Tech Banking vs. Restructuring

Current RX analyst and not necessarily a fan of the work. Have the opportunity to lateral to a solid tech shop in SF. Not sure what I want to do long term- ideally PE --> multi-strat HF. 

Curious to hear your thoughts on what I should do. I genuinely enjoy tech more than RX but afraid it may not be as "prestigious." Is tech M&A banking a good launchpad for HF?

I rarely comment on prestige stuff but in what world are you comparing "tech banking" prestige to "RX"? They are 2 fundamentally different things. I could get if you were comparing one rx shop to another or one tech bank to another but how does this even work?

I used to work in tech banking. In tech there is little to no restructuring work done. It's priv placements, convert debt pitches, equity offerings and M&A.

If you like tech go do tech.  

 

Top EB rx are known to place very well for HF but if you like tech do tech no doubt
