Hi all,
Keen to get anyone's thoughts on the three firms in the title. All for lateral analyst hires - coming across from FDD background.
Arrowpoint is a generalist role vs HL which is Business Services and Alantra in their Tech team.
Any LDN bankers out there - would really appreciate some input! Ta.

Bump.
At first glance it seems like Houlihan is the obvious choice here. As far as I know, they are a much stronger name than the other two, being one of the leading mid-market advisors in London
I don't know if this is still the case, but I heard a couple of years ago that Alantra paid well below market
If I was in your situation (without knowing any more about team-specific culture, salary, etc.) I would 100% choose HL, but I welcome responses from people more familiar than me
Bump
Heard from an ex-Alantra MD that culture is shit and senior staff are moving to competitors
This in London? I know they don't have MD's as part of the structure in London. Keen for further thoughts though.
Yeah London and meant director my bad
They were partners* just checked
Bump.
I feel like Houlihan is the obvious choice here. Definitely the strongest name, and I feel the experience will be better. Alantra is a good shop as well, but I think you’d be seeing much smaller deals than HL and I’m not too sure about deal flow. HL is quite good for MM so I’d go there if I were you.
HL > Alantra > Arrowpoint
Appreciate peoples thoughts - does anyone know about HL London office, not a huge amount there and not got a wealth of information during the process. Is it sweaty?
HL London has horrible culture but best remuneration + will work with some very top people
Alantra someway of a midpoint, average pay, average culture etc.
Arrowpoint has great culture from what I hear, but below street pay and hours can peak. Good dealflow since Roths acquisition.
Does Rothschild take laterals from Arrowpoint
Unsure on this - they work pretty autonomously but wouldn't see it being impossible.
Bump to top.
