Debt Advisory - Marlborough Partners, Tomorrow Partners, Tatsu Partners, Axis Arbor. All the mid-market banks - i.e. William Blair, HL etc
Would hit all of the advisory only banks - Moelis, Laz, Roths, HL, Evercore etc. I think only CVP doesn't do debt advisory.
Think also about whether you have any RE or Infra experience, some of the above have dedicated teams just to RE Debt or Infra Debt Advisory.
Might be easier to go to a bank first in London and then to the buyside rather than direct into the buyside unless you have particular relationships with some of the PC / DL shops in London.
Thanks, that’s really helpful. How is the London finance job market at the moment? I’m conscious that I’d be trying to translate my CB experience into a different market and move into a more advisory-focused role, so I’m curious how challenging that would be in the current hiring market
