How about Nomura Frankfurt vs Houlihan Lokey London?
Avoid Normura like the plague unless losing pitches for 2 years is your idea of a good learning experience.
BBB London presence is 90% UK mid-cap sales and research coverage, super small "IB" team of like 20 people (if you can call it IB). UK PLC focus (v little private activity) and does decently well in this area - I know someone who works in research there and enjoys it.
HL is 95% £150/200m private sell-side M&A.
Toss up between BBB and HL - purely depends where your interests lie (private sell-side M&A versus UK PLC)
If you want to do equity research, sales or European ECM then choose Berenberg - its continental europe ECM practice is quite good. If you want to do M&A then either of the other 2. Nomura might do some slightly larger deals than HL in London but I'm not entirely sure.
Nomura any day lol
Nomura Frankfurt over HL London? Really?
If Nomura is in Frankfurt then go HL London obv. Though both are LDN
Is HL M&A that worse than RX?
