Take Evercore and never look back.
I know someone who worked at both Rothschild and Evercore and he would tell you to pick Evercore Partners. HL would be a great option as well. Is it for the analyst position?
hmm. did you summer at either Rothschild or Evercore?
I have a family member/good friend who worked FT at both.
Evercore, definitely.
I always thought restructuring was interesting though, and HL is one of the best at it. So if it's something you find really interesting, then keep that in mind.
Out of the 3, the three are great choices. Well done - go with the team you like the most.
Congrats on the offers. Evercore for sure.
i've heard that HL RX isn't as active as of late because dealflow is drying up.
Evercore easily. The rest suck in comparison
Thanks, appreciate your advice and help. What if I were to add Moelis/Centerview to this mix? Don't have offers from them, but was wondering how Evercore stacks up in comparison.
Evercore unless you love Rx - then HLHZ.
For the elite boutiques, depends where you like culture more. All top shops. Centerview is paying top $ these days, but exit ops are a little tougher since they like to keep their analysts.
Since no one's giving RBC the credit it deserves, I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents here. I'm not saying you should pick RBC over the others (you should def go for Evercore for all the reasons above among others), but there's a lot of good things to say about the firm. Arguably one of (if not THE) the fastest growing IBs in the Americas, gained market share while others were falling/flat, and now have established a strong, rapidly growing presence ranking around the top 15 range in league tables. They're also aggressively hiring from bulge brackets really looking to build their presence.
I've also met many people at RBC across various groups and they have awesome people everywhere, don't complain about hours at all and really enjoy working hard and playing hard with their colleagues/co-workers. Third year analyst offers are given frequently and many stay on as associates. If you want to go to a bank with a great momentum and a strong brand name, RBC is a fantastic choice. Obvious downsides - not very good placement, still more debt over equity or M&A (though that's starting to change), and still somewhat lacks the resources of a true bulge bracket (but this is slowly starting to change as well).
So given all that, here's my personal opinion. I'm especially not fond of restructuring because I think it's cooling down and you could have a more broad range of learning experiences in a traditional coverage/product group...
Evercore > RBC > Rothschild > HL or maybe... Evercore > Rothschild > RBC > HL
Disclaimer: I do NOT work in RBC Capital Markets
You're nuts. RBC recently let go a couple of people at the junior level. It's got a nice culture and strong presence in Canada but this isn't what the OP is probably looking for.
When you talk about prestige or exits in NYC:
In terms of M&A: Evercore >>>> Rothschild > HL > RBC.
In terms of RX
HL > Rothschild >> Evercore (although admittedly, I hear HL's RX deal flow has been weak in the past year)
I know a few ppl at EVR RX and they do place well. They actually send most their analysts to generalist PE with some notable exceptions and they have a good relationship with Apollo. This summer, I know people didn't get worked that hard...but not sure if that's an EVR thing or a result of the fact that RX is in cool down
Yeah, Evercore restructuring still places better/has far more prestige than rothschild or HL
How do you have offers for the above firms? I know RBC/Evercore had their super days this past weekend and they have not sent any offers out yet.
Not sure for RBC, but I can confirm that Evercore had already given out offers for FT recruiting.
