I love when people ask about how hours differ from bank to bank. No matter what.. they suck. As far as prestige/exit opps, I believe that Greenhill is considered a stronger firm and will place better, but not significantly so. I can't speak on culture as I don't know the banks that well but the interviews (and hopefully sell days) should be pretty educational.

 

I just interviewed with Greenhill yesterday and talked with some of the analysts. All 10 of them have offers, with seven out of ten going to mega funds (think KKR, TPG, Providence) and the rest to other mid-market PE or top HFs. Tough to be the exit ops there.

 

Greenhill is known for treating their analysts very well. arguably among the best boutiques in that regard, in my humble opinion. Moelis, not so much. after all, a significant number of employees at Moelis followed ken himself from the sweatshop known as UBS LA. also give Blackstone m&a or Blackstone restructuring a shot, if you are able. not as well known as the private equity arm, of course, but exit opps are great from both, and culture-wise, i think, only Greenhill is comparable.
