Any input?
Worth it in what respect? If you provide some more colour on what your longer term aspirations are, it will make answering this a little easier.
The mid tier BB names you mention all place well into PE and you will develop a good group of peers. The other names you mention are somewhat smaller (especially Robey Warshaw) and so the experience and opportunities which you would get from them would be very different.
In terms of PE opportunities?
Mid tier BB as it's just a more trodden path, the headhunters are more familiar with the names and will automatically be in touch quicker which makes the first step easier. Lots of guys from those names at MFs and upper mid market funds in London.
I would separate the likes of CV and PJT too from the likes of Robey Warshaw and Zaoui & Co too. Primarily based on size of operations and overall experience you would get, but ultimately for PE, in London, the BBs you named place best out of the alternatives.
London lateral recruiting (Originally Posted: 11/12/2017)
1st year analyst started at William Blair / DC Advisory / GP Bullhound, looking to lateral to BB.
Not confident enough to ask analysts in the years above at the moment about this.
How and when does one go about this? Where will these opening get posted? Are their specific recruiters good for this? What is the most important attributes BBs are looking from you?
Any and all info appreciated.
Hey To Bank or Break Rank, I'm here because nobody responded to this thread after a few days...maybe one of these resources will help you:
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
If you're talking about DC advisory and GP B, I understand that you are looking for a new and better opportunity. Both brands names are quite weak and exit opps are minimal.
On the other hand, William Blair is very respected in the City and has been booming over the last years. Deal flow is very solid and they are very respected among PE's. From what I've heard the culture is very good..so do not know if you would be better of at a BB. I personally work at a large bank (HSBC/Nomura/Jefferies) and would love to switch for a position at William Blair
I wouldn't say very respected. What is your source on this? Any of the above to BBs is worth it. Haven't seen anyone in London who made the move straight to PE (MF, MM) before, but happy to be proved wrong.
You seem to have come onto this forum in the last day, to tell as many people as possible that William Blair is great and in particular better than Jefferies. I can't speak for outside London, but I think you will have a hard time convincing people for whatever reason you want to do so.
