I have received SA 26 offers for both firms in their London office recently.
Conversion rates are similar across both firms, and I have no idea what teams I’ll get at both firms.
What offer should I take? and pls explain your reasoning.

I would lean towards Evercore.
Strong momentum in EMEA, mass expanding hiring lots of seniors from Citi recently. Would have said Roths 3+ yrs ago but Evercore’s working on more €1bn+ transactions, Roths still predominately MM. Works closely with the US teams too which provides more interesting deal exposure.
Exits worse than top 3 BBs, on par with likes of Citi/BofA/PJT. Roths exits very well to MM PE if you’re interested in that.
Agree with the above. I know multiple people who rejected Roths for Evercore in London. Evercore is growing strongly across the board and has great deal flow across all teams. Roths likewise, but still a lot of MM stuff. Evercore also just a much better international brand name for exits or if you want to go to the US
Agree with everything above except EVR exits are nowhere near BAML/PJT. More similar to UBS / DB / Barclays. Anecdotally speaking, but there is data too. There's an arkesden report i saw in a thread last year where they had exclusively MM/LMM exits (Epiris, Charterhouse etc) and PJT was exclusively large cap (KKR, CD&R, Advent), albeit this is just one period of time but the disparity is too significant to call this period an anomaly. Exits between the EB's are marginal (except PJT) at the moment but EVR is the most likely to catchup to PJT in the coming years so is a decent bet. At roths, you will also be treated like a BB banker but without the exit / brand equity premium and you also get paid slightly worse somehow. Pick evercore but don't join under the pretext of having the same inbounds as PJT/Bofa, you likely will have to work harder and be more proactive than your peers at those banks.
Just browsing Linkedin you can see that EVR exits every year to 2-3 MF and some UMM funds in the last 2 years. Imo it’s great exits for a class of ~30. PJT runs the distress/SS scene but less so if you are exiting to traditional PE
What about Lazard/pwp/Centerview/moelis?
100% agree. Depending on your vertical you have fantastic exit ops coming out of Evercore. Evercore is a big enough brand at this point that not only finance bros know the name and enough aura to put some shine on your resume.
EVR best of the rest IMO.
Other than GS/JP/MS most should take EVR over other banks
Why?
Evercore has more aura son
Bro u sound like an incel lol
Wow didn’t know Analyst 2 in IB - M&A got paid by PJT to hype their brand
Interesting, already an analyst 1 but was looking for 2025 SA's? Unless you were somehow good enough to get an FT at a place similar to the brands discussed in this thread, something makes me doubt that, prospect. Especially considering the fact that you wasn't able to even get the AC for a BNP summer internship after an MD referral? Damn i missed this website, absolute comedy
i got a FT offer from JPM after my SA, but sure buddy you keep hyping PJT, go for those MM PE exits!
Didn't know drinks at market tavern have already begun, everyone on this thread is clearly intoxicated.
Stop grasping at straws, get back to work.
This is what the AN2 guy was talking about anyways:

Seen them quite a lot in the FIG space winning some serious mandates that no other EB has.
Take EVR. Better global brand name, but more importantly Roths conversion last year was abysmal
agreed, but i've heard intern quality last year was not the best either - lots of the summer interns came from the spring week cohort and they did not perform particularly well.
