Rothschild vs UBS SA

hey guys I'm trying to decide between these two places. This summer I want a solid M&A/Technical experience in preferably a generalist, natres, or TMT group. I was wondering which place u guys think is the best place to summer at and potentially leverage the offer to an EB/BB for full time? I consider Roth an EB but it's not Evercore, Greenhill, Moelis, Lazard level in the US yet for M&A.

Talked with a few people at UBS. Although their IBD is shrinking and many MDs left, they still have solid deal flow. Also, because UBS is still a BB, it brings advantage for your exit opp later.

 

Would go Rothschild based on sentiments from friends and trajectories of banks - really depends on what you want in terms of groups/culture though. Rothschild is obviously smaller in terms of headcount so take that into consideration... exit ops are pretty similar
