Which RX group should I be leaning towards?

If you’ve read my post history you know I’m fortunate enough to be in a decent b school program, and was looking to pivot to Rx.

I’m in the process with a few RX shops now, deeper with some than others. I’m in the process with the below firms. I have 2 I’m leaning towards, but want to make sure that if I’m fortunate enough to get offers, I’m making the right choice / where to focus my best efforts now.

Lazard, Moelis, HL LA, PWP, Gugg, EVR

Thank you in advance.

I interned at one of the groups and heading back for FT.
 

Honestly EVR rx has the best deal flow and the best exits. If you get this you should accept on the spot. Moelis is the clear next.

honestly after that these groups are pretty comparable in terms of deal flow and analyst experience. I’ve seen Gugg/PWP a lot on the radar (just checked reorg/debtwire) and HL LA and LAZ are traditionally very strong players as well. I have friends at every group (except HL rx LA) and the exit opps are all very similar. 

 

Evercore, Lazard, and Moelis are fantastic in the Rx space. Would probably take them in the order I listed. HL LA is really solid, but would lean more to the NY shops if I were you. PWP is strong but a minor step below the rest. Gugg is solid but a step below all the others.
