Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, Rothschild is considered one of the most elite independent advisory firms in Europe. It has a slightly weaker brand name in the US, but they are working on improving it. The Rothschild name carries incredible prestige in Europe, with many high-profile individuals across the continent having worked there, including the French Prime Minister.
When comparing Rothschild to Bulge Bracket banks (BBs) and Elite Boutiques (EBs), it's important to consider a few factors:
Reputation: Rothschild has a strong reputation, particularly in Europe. It's considered a top-notch advisory firm.
Deal Flow: While Rothschild has a reputable European Investment Banking presence, firms like Greenhill and Centerview have also brought in great deal flow over the past couple of years. Evercore's deal flow is unmatched by other banks recently.
Growth: It's important to look at the growth of the firm. You can do a quick search on the web and look at M&A league tables to see the recent 3 to 5 years ranking to see which firms are consistently in the top 10 and also grow.
Pay: Pay is relatively the same across these firms, with some variations. For example, Centerview Partners (CVP) tends to pay a little more, while Lazard (Laz) pays less at the same level as BBs.
Exits: This depends on what you want to exit into. If it's plain vanilla, then all these firms offer good opportunities.
Remember, the best choice depends on your personal career goals and preferences.
