Curious to learn more about the Rothschild IPR (Infrastructure, Power and Renewables) group. Seems like they've closed some pretty big deals in the transportation and energy space since starting up a few years ago, and with a pretty sizeable team, am wondering how they stack up in terms of culture, comp, WLB (is it a total sweatshop like Roths Industrials?) and overall perception across the infra world. Specifically focused on the NYC team.

Roths infra is a very strong shop. They are particularly good in energy (eg long lasting clients include Shell / EDP / etc) and transportation (eg hard to think about a large cap deal in Europe which they were not involved), although not so strong in digital. You’ll definitely close deals and the experience will be great from a learning perspective. With that being said, it is a sweaty group…
This experience will open several doors to infra PE, so if this something that you’d fancy go ahead.
Assuming you have an interest in infra, you should definitely join them
Worked with London team - very strong and good deal flow but at the junior level a lot of exist to KRR and other good funds
It’s a strong group, and the culture while sweaty is a good bit better than Industrials. It’s sweaty, but the people on the team aren’t assholes. Group head is this British dude who takes the team on their own offsites every now and then like skiing, etc. I think they’re strongest in transportation & logistics above everything else (think ports, shipping, etc.)

How sweaty are we talking? Late nights all week + working every weekend Saturday/Sunday? Is this more limited to the analysts, or are associates regularly pulling late nights and 80h+ weeks?
Definitely a lot of late nights at the Analyst and Associate level. This is just a factor of Infra models being very complex versus Consumer, for example, and often times there is a lot of scenario analysis done from client requests that other groups just don't have to deal with. Their slide decks are pretty large as well. That said, Analysts do hold the pen on models and it does look like they learn a lot.
Versus Industrials, the juniors are a lot more chill. They're very work hard, play hard while Industrials is just work hard, burn out.
How bad are the working hours in Industrials team?
80hrs regularly but good deal flow
They’ve recently opened a Houston office with the hiring of the former head of Lazard’s energy team, and renamed the team IPRE. Strong in: LNG, Transport, Renewables, Oilfield Services and anything cross-border + lots of work with large cap infra funds / PEs
