EB in London

As the positioning of EB and BB in the US and the UK/EMEA are significantly different, trying to get an overall view on EBs in London for both M&A and RX, assuming it would be different between the two. If you have a mean to compare to BB, also feel free to share 

Reputation/exits/dealflow/culture/top group/growth potential in like 3 to 5 years/any other relevant info.

Doesn't have to be a ranking, updated qualitative info would be much appreciated as I understand some US EB are growing very fast

Bumping this as I feel it could be useful to most (really looking for qualitative info rather than repetitive rankings), please share any relevant info you have

 

can't answer all the info but I will try to answer as much as I can:

unlike America, EB are not as "prestige" as wso assume: most of them operates in the upper MM space except maybe PJT and HL still dominates RX

Rothschild is significantly better in Europe than America

American BB still remain strong and are the top players in IB

culture is generally more relaxed but finance is still finance, ie you still pull long hours but it is more common to see juniors on vacations 

it is common to masters students going for SA at age 24/25. Thus, it is not uncommon to see some kid with 3 BB/EB experience on the resume still recruiting for SA (this is probably more common in continental Europe)

Dealflow overall is relatively weaker vs US but London do cover entire EMEA which i personally find interesting (more diverse)
