I find it wild to see people posting something like this when they obviously do not have the slightest idea of what they're talking about.

In my experience, EVR/LAZ PCA and PJT Park Hill professionals are generally compensated in line with the M&A/RX teams, with maybe a slight (10-15%) discount applied to the bonus. Especially in the Secondary teams, however, all-in comp can be even higher, which is unsurprising considering how the Secondaries space exploded in the past few years and how few people are actually experts in this space. Its an easy supply-demand equation.

The differences in terms of reputation between these groups are marginal. Based on what I've heard, juniors at EVR and LAZ PCA do both fund placements and Secondaries, whereas PJT is split into Secondary Advisory and Fundraising. If you primarily want to work on GP-led Secondaries, which are poised for some serious growth in the near future, PJT is probably the place to be.

Apart from these firms you also have Greenhill, which was one of the first EBs to invest in a dedicated Secondary practice and used to be the best in the business, but that group is currently being torn apart by other banks trying to force their way into the space (RTH, Jefferies). Independent firms like Cebile or Campbell Lutyens may also be worth checking out, though their brand does not carry as much weight outside of the Placement Agent/Secondary universe.
