Which groups?
M&A group. thanks!
Would take Citi M&A over Rothschild.
I would choose Citi M&A over Rothschild as well, Rothschild isn't a huge brand yet, especially in M&A, and so placement isn't as easy since HHs are much more attracted to the Citi brand.
I would also anticipate that you get a wider range of deals at Citi.
Thanks for the input, DCBro. Which group in Rothschild is better?
Thanks for the reply, Whiskey5! Any reason?
Citi for obvious reasons.
Citi M&A > Rothschild in the US.
Citi M&A is quite strong. If this was Citi NYC or Rothschild London, okay that's a conversation. But this should be a no brainer.
How about Citi M&A vs Rothschild Restructuring both in NYC? Curious which group in Rothschild is better. Many thanks!
Restructuring is a pretty strong group @ Rothschild. If you're looking to break into PE, Citi M&A will definitely be an easier avenue.
This is for an associate role, so would be less concerned with HH/exits and more with culture, comp, and reputation. I might take Rothschild Restructuring over Citi M&A but it would be close. I haven't heard great things about Rothschild M&A, so I would choose Citi there.
Rothschild Rx is definitely stronger than their M&A practice. I think if those are your options, it really depends what you want to do. Rx and M&A are actually very different types of work, both analytically as well as the types of clients you'll deal with. If you are going in as an associate and are interested in the long haul, go where you like the work (Rx vs. M&A) and the people. If you are going in for exit ops, I'd still probably lean for Citi M&A unless you really like distressed PE.
Thanks everyone! Those are really good stuff and definitely displayed the reputation of both firms here. I need to sleep on it and think over. Distressed funds are actually part of my plan in the long run. From what I heard from Rothschild Rx, the group culture is pretty good. But Citi M&A for sure has great deal flow...
Another thing to mention, is that while distressed funds do hire M&A guys, they'll, generally, want younger, moldable guys with the hyped valuation skills, most likely not an Associate, just my opinion though.
Citi M & A if you want a broad experience. Rothschild if you want restructuring for the long haul.
Citi M&A over Rothschild M&A. Rothschild RX over Citi M&A if you are more interested in RX than in M&A.
