RenCap is ok - Russia and Africa focussed. Reputable shop to work for in Europe / Russia. Good in energy space.

From the ghetto....
 
feenansVery legit place, key player in all the markets they are in. Compensation on par or better than the street. Most seniors are from London/European BBs and reputable western banks (my MD was an M&A banker for ten years in London BB before switching to our office in the middle of nowhere).

Do you work at Renaissance. If so PM me I'm very interested in the firm. Thx.
