Restructuring Post- MBA Associate PJT vs Houlihan

I was wondering if anyone can comment on the differences between PJT and Houlihan at the associate level for restructuring. I may have to make a decision between the two in the near term. I know the analyst program would be a no brainer for PJT but less sure of the associate program.

I was thinking these are the primary components that I would like to know about:

1) Comp 2) Lifestyle / Hours 3) Exit Opps

But would definitely appreciate any color.

Thanks
