Houlihan Lokey vs. Arma Partners in London

Just randomly bumbed into your question. If this is still relevant to you: you would be stupid to turn down Houlihan. They take 2-5 Analysts on FT out of 2000 applicants. Hands down one of the best (if not the best) restructuring shops out there. Having said that, apparently their London office is an absolute sweatshop and they kill their analysts, which certainly contributes to them having a very low retention rate (talked to one of their directors). But what also needs to be said is that their analysts consistently place into top buyside funds - at least that applies to their restructuring team. Their M&A desks aren't as well renonwed as far as I know.

Never hear of Arma Partners before...

Hope that helps.

You're operating on the assumption OP has an offer for RX. Their CF division isn't great and FAS is a dead end. I've heard the same re sweatshops. Heard that 2 Associates have been wheeled out of there by paramedics due to exhaustion. Could be a rumour, I don't have sufficient evidence to confirm it. Buyside placement though it supposed to be extremely strong as you mentioned.

The Shard is by no means a good office location, have you worked in London before?

Arma Partners is a more tech focused M&A shop.

Anyone has any other advice/specifics on the difference between HL and Arma?
