Best EB Name Recognition Outside IB

I often see people suggesting to take a BB over an EB if they are unsure about their future in finance. If someone is deadset on an EB, however, which one do you think has the best name recognition outside of IB/finance?

Gotcha, appreciate the insight! I recently accepted an offer at an EB, but was just curious what people thought.

 

Lazard... they've been around for so long and have always been what they are. Many of their top bankers go into top Government positions and do influential shit.

 

Rothschild for sure. Even in the U.S, if you tell people you work for rothschild they can immediately deduce its something prestigious. In Europe, its even more-so.
