Kepler Cheuvreux: What do you think? Is this a good ER firm in Europe?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently interviewing for an ER position at Kepler Cheuvreux. I have 3 years of experience at a credit rating agency, specializing in FIG. ER wasn't really on my radar until they reached out to me, but the analyst I spoke with seems great, and I'm trying to understand if this would be a good move.

How does Kepler Cheuvreux compare to other boutiques like Exane or Redburn? Also, what's the potential for transitioning to the buy-side or a HF from here? How does it stack up against working at a BB firm?

Regarding compensation, what's a reasonable target to aim for? And typically, what percentage of the base salary does the bonus represent?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
