Evercore vs. Centerview
I have been fortunate enough to receive a 2025 offer to Evercore. I have not had my super day w/ Centerview, but in order to interview I would forego a signing bonus. I am willing to do so just to get the chance if it is worth it for me.
I am extremely interested in healthcare, which is why Centerview is extremely appealing to me; however, I hope to work at a hedge fund in some capacity someday, and I do not know which would set me up to be in the best position.
I really love the people and culture at Evercore, so I am leaning towards them, but I figured I would ask around to see what is the best for my interests and career aspirations.
Thank you.
At the end of the day, you will receive identical HF looks for being at either of these firms (though I'd expect EVR to be more supportive during recruiting). I'd pick the place you prefer the people at, and also note that you're committing to an extra year of IB at CVP if your ultimate goal is HF.
Brand name is equal. EVR just more supportive of exits.
How important is it for the bank you’re working at to be supportive of exits considering oncycle happens so early these days? What does support from a place like Evercore actually mean in material terms?
I would take the offer you have, given your articulated priorities.
evercore brand is marginally stronger with less key man risk. 1 less analyst year and more supportive of recruiting. evercore would be the right move
Don't listen to the delusional analysts above who think EVR = CVP. EVR's a Tier 2 bank while CVP is probably the #1 contender with PJT on its coattails. Look at the profiles of juniors and incoming CVP bankers on LinkedIn (WHYP background, Tier 1 internships/clubs/GPAs, almost zero diversity) and then EVR (laterals from no-name Canadian schools, analysts from less-than-stellar backgrounds, a bunch of diversity idiots who doesn't know the formula for WACC or CAPM because EVR has grown so bloated and given so many spots to DEI and non-target backgrounds).
If I had to rank EBs based on street consensus (how PE/HF looks at it and NOT prospects on WSO), it would be
Mount Olympus - CVP, PJT RSSG
Mount Everest - PJT non-RSSG, LAZ, Q
Mount Kilimanjaro - EVR, PWP, Rothschild (EU), Greenhill (pre-Mizuho)
Mount Fiji - M&CO, GUGG, Rothschild (US), Greenhill (post-Mizuho
Can we ban this idiot already
This idiot does not even know that Mount Olympus has the lowest elevation among them...
definitely evr if you’re looking for exits
Don’t think there’s a wrong decision here. Of course CVP’s HC practice is legendary but if you’re looking long term for your exits, like others have said, EVR might be better for that (though that isn’t to say you won’t be able to get similar looks at CVP)
def try for cvp
Evercore is more well-known, CVP is more selective / exclusive. I know this because EVR reached out to me to lateral and CVP never has which makes me favour CVP since I'm pretty borderline.
Can't speak from first-hand experience but my gf recruited for HF from Evercore and said her seniors were very supportive + were able to make intros/connect her with the right people (think this is less common at most banks for those looking at HF, at least relative to PE connects). Landed a very strong HF offer at the end of the day.
