Can’t choose an EB

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's a breakdown to help you decide between the EBs:

Pay:

• CVP: Pays more than the others.
• LAZ: Pays less compared to the others.

Reputation:

• LAZ, EVR, PWP, PJT, MOE: All have strong reputations with good RX (restructuring) franchises.
  • EVR: Very strong but a smaller platform.
  • PWP: Weaker and smaller but still good.
  • CVP: Does RX but not as many deals.

Exit Opportunities:

• General Consensus: You'll get the same interviews regardless of where you work at these banks. It ultimately comes down to the caliber of the analyst and the strength of the resume.
• CVP: Exits might be "more compromised" according to some sources.

Specific Insights:

• CVP: Tier one in terms of pay and deal flow but has an unsupportive exit culture and a 3-year analyst program bonus structure.
• LAZ: Best name brand along with EVR outside of finance.
• EVR: Strong reputation and good exit opportunities.

Additional Considerations:

• RBC: Not mentioned in the provided context as a top EB, so it might not be as highly regarded as the others listed.

Conclusion:

• If pay is your primary concern, CVP might be the best choice.
• For reputation and exit opportunities, LAZ and EVR are strong contenders.
• Consider the culture and specific teams at each bank to see where you fit best.
