Thanks man
add Perella Weinberg, they look like they will kick ass they took a bunch of MS guys.
Rothschild is not a good boutique. It's a middle market wannabe.
i take it that your Rothschild comment is us specific, am i right?
Perella Weinberg looks good. seems like they've assembled a good team.
Yup US
Thanks. How about some mid-to-lower tier boutique firms? What are the "big" names in those categories?
Rothschilds is definitely not a good boutique in the U.S. Europe is another story altogether, though Lazard and Greenhill are elite there as well.
could you guys elaborate a little more on rothschilds in europe?
Rothschild restruct is a fine group in the U.S.
A bit of general info I get from friends & colleagues there, since I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for by asking to "elaborate":
Rothschild in Europe is very good, top 5 league table in most of the EU countries that matter and pushing east into developing markets.
As an analyst you get a good deal exposure there (in terms of dealflow and responsibility), hours are what you have to expect from a competitive IBD and comp ranges from street to very good.
Culture is old school European elitist. MBAs are by no means a necessity there, old chap. On the other hand, an analyst at Rothschild London or Paris makes it into HBS.
How come an analyst at Rothschild London/Paris would make it into HBS? Are they seen as special???
By this I obviously don't mean: all R analysts go (if they want) to HBS
I do mean: If all went well at R you definitley have a good shot of getting in relative to many other people
Reasons for this would be that you probably would have gained strong deal exposure to the largest deals (as opposed to being stuck with excel), you must be a high achiever within the industry since top boutiques are notoriously hard to get into, you may well face less cometition that other bankers since there will be few/no colleagues of yours trying to get into that MBA. There are many reasons why you could differenciate yourself positively within the applicant pool. And I know it has been done. Hope my statement makes more sense now.
Pay at Rothschidl might be lower than at the other boutiques
EuroMonkey, that's exactly what i wanted to hear. thanks a bunch.
No probs. Just saw another thread discussing Rothschild which you've probably seen; consensus is highly regarded.
Evercore and Centerview appear to be the most exciting boutiques as far as deal flow/announcement.
PWP has been very dissapointing, I thought they would be kicking ass and taking names but one year and no big splashy deals, whereas Centerview was also launched last summer (to much less fanfare) and has gotten some headline grabbing mandates
Rothschild is a creature unto itself, a venerable name from another era and culture of banking. I hear they have chefs onsite in the NYC office that prepare made-to-order breakfasts for junior staff and not just the executive suite. They revel in the type of culture that is hard to beat as far as snob appeal. Although I would love to hear if anyone could confirm this.
