HL Corp Fin vs Prudential Capital Restructuring

I have offers from HL Corp Fin (mostly m&a) in a smaller industry group and Prudential Capital in its Workouts group. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the quality of the work and training, exit opps, and other important pros/cons beyond compensation.

Thanks!

What are you trying to do nub? If you want to get into distressed/Rx/Turnaround, may be decent to work for this Pru position. But, HL's Rx practice is strong, so you could use the M&A position to parlay into Rx.

If you want M&A, clearly HL is the better choice. As I have stated in a few earlier threads, MPLS office is probably on par with LA at the top.

HL will provide structured training, work hours are long (though standard, 85-95/wk), allows you to wear whatever you want (guys come in w/flip flops and t-shirts) and feeds into MM PE and mezz funds.

Comp is almost guaranteed to be higher at HL b/c this Pru position isn't origination.

 

I honestly do not have a plan going forward, but distressed HF/PE is definitely a route I am interested in. I just wanted to hear some opinions either way, and everything you have said definitely makes sense. I am curious why you consider MPLS at the top though. Is this office well known or are you referring to the high presence of senior bankers in the office?
