Curious on how you would rank the above for Vanilla MF/UMM PE exits in London. Also, How significant is an additional European language when it comes to both mf and umm pe recruiting?
Additionally would appreciate some insights into the internal mobility at these firms (requesting a move to ny).

Laz > PJT > Evercore=Roths. Roths and Laz are the biggest on geographic mobility.
Where do you think each ranks relative to bb's for pe exits?
Roths might have good internal mobility but they are levels below the others in NYC where OP wants to go to so wouldn't pick them.
In terms of exit opps, all else equal, it's like you listed for London. PJT > EVR > Laz = RTH
This is definitely wrong...Evercore are much more of a pure play mm in London while Lazard and Rothschild punch significantly above their weight. PJT = Lazard > Rothschild > Evercore
I'm talking exit opps here, not dealflow. EVR - while dealflow is indeed more towards MM (tho not pure MM like you say) - clearly has better exits than Laz / RTH. When was the last time you saw MF exit from Laz London (excl. Rx people)? I'll answer, it was c.3yrs ago to WP and think there was another one to Apollo at the time, that's it. Its like 1-2 exits every 3 years. Most exit to MM funds (Inflexion, Capvest etc)

PJT for London
Really…? They pitched for something maybe 2 years ago and very clearly they were very underweight. I don’t see them on anything in Europe. Is it mostly corporate work…?
Not seen them pitch personally but wouldn’t say they are presently underweight. Was randomly 5th in uk deals completed h1 this year. Dont think that was maintained for h2 but can imagine similar results again in 2024 considering the senior md poaching they’ve been doing since h1. Would say evr continental Europe is kinda as weak as this forum portrays it with only okay presence in Frankfurt/Paris but uk seems strong. Hey maybe I’m biased though as I’ve been seeking a lateral there for a few months now.
