Choosing NY firms: Schulte v Winston v Alston

Post by Mozart Lacrimosa » Sat Aug 27, 2016 11:10 am

Hi all. Interested in corporate transactions and hedge/PE fund work. Questions: is IM work on the daily intellectually interesting? I've heard the work varies but I've also heard it is a target for commoditization. Is the reputation of these firms similar enough in New York? Alston and Winston are not NY based so potentially more QOL which is nice but certainly not a dealbreaker - I'm young and willing to grind away for a few. Thanks!

I have not heard very good things about the QOL In Sculte's IM group although you will get a lot of substantive work early. However, they are far and away more highly regarded in the space than Alston or Winston NY and the exit ops will be far better. Would do Schulte here.

you want hedge funds practice based out of new york, and you are debating this? Schulte is the obvious answer.

If you are at all interested in IM, then this should be an obvious choice.
