If I am honest I preferred the people at Rothschild as they seemed after more than just someone who can do the technicals, which I think says a lot about the people there (if they all went through the same process). But the MS name can really open doors for PE/ Business School etc can it not?

 

roths are on pretty much every sell-side these days but i'm not sure you can request just M&A on roths' internships. you could get debt advisory or restructuring, restructuring is weak.

Roths in NY at least at the SA level is pure generalist (restt & M&A). you get placed into the speciifc product once FT starts. Roths in London has huge presence too (biggest office). If you liked the people there I'd pick Roths. Name wise MS might be more global, but Roths London is VERY well known...pretty much on every deal in europe involving advisory.

Source: went to superday, kept in touch with the bankers in the NYC office. really liked the people there and was impressed.

 

I think the problem with Rothschild's huge dealflow is that you can end up on a lot of deals you're really not interested in, low value, no-name-no-impact companies etc. Obviously this isn't a problem for everybody, but it was one of the mains reasons given by both Roth alumni I've met for moving to different firms.
