In NYC, I'd recommend Guggenheim over Rothschild and I don't think it's that close. Would have been flipped had you said London but Guggenheim is a much stronger name in the US. Not uncommon to see MF/UMM exits from TMT and HC at Guggenheim. Don't see Rothschild placing nearly as well into PE (out of NYC).

Edit: Look at MF/UMM team pages in the US and let me know how many Rothschild analysts you find. If you people can read, he's asking about NYC. Don't know why you're throwing MS at this.

 

That makes a lot of sense. 

I've got a Rothschild offer (NY, generalist SA 2023) and am wondering if it worth letting it expire and going for Guggenheim. 

Obviously, it's a risk since Gugg's process happens later, but I think I have a fairly good shot since I've got a few analysts rooting for me. 

Would love to hear your thoughts...

 

Do not, I repeat DO NOT reject Rothschild (or for that matter any bank) in the hopes of getting something else. You are a non target non diversity - odds are stacked against you. You said you haven’t even heard back yet so I think the chances are bleak irrespectively. Plus, Rothschild is pretty good in itself (not like it’s a no name boutique in Utah or something).

 

Go with Roths. Rx and Industrials have great exits. How you are as an analysts/your group/networking all affect buyside recruiting.

If you don't like your experience you can always lateral to a different firm. I personally think GHL/GUGG/Roths NA are on a similar level...
