IB in Europe?

Financial News London just published an article outlining the demise of the Investment Banking industry in Europe due to systemic issues with fees, competition, and Brexit. I am curious what the viewpoint on this is from European IB professionals, this site tends to be American-centric so getting some international viewpoints can be helpful. How does Europe IB compare in terms of prospects, lifestyle, compensation, deal flow, etc?
