Which would you choose to start as a 1st year analyst in IBD in London?
Rothschild has the name but is mainly sell side transactions (many private)
Nomura has retained some Lehman people and so compete more directly with the main bulge bracket banks.
PE exit is what I'm after so I want deal exposure and a good modelling foundation. Any thoughts?

if this is UK, there's no comparison between Rothschild and Nomura go with Rothschild
Would be too brave to turn down Rothschild London for Nomura unless you have good reasons.
The year to date league table should give you a pretty good indicator: http://imgur.com/FoqKwzq
Sorry can't PM just yet, but would you mind pulling up the league tables for European healthcare for the past 2 years? I sadly don't have access to mergermarket. Thanks in advance!
Roths has one of the biggest M&A teams in London. Would he silly to risk Nomura.
Thanks guys. Would teams matter at all?
Healthcare at Rothschild vs M&A execution at Nomura. I'm just a bit concerned that I wouldn't get buy side exposure at Rothschild.
Healthcare is well regarded and i hear there's internal mobility at Roths. However, your concerns aren't unfounded. Roths hasn't a great history for exits, but is less of a career risk. You need to get to grips of what the current situation is at Nom, reach out to guys who have left at the jnr level (there's one at BX).
Thanks for all the advice. Much appreciated
healthcare at Rothschild London is one of the best HC teams there, great dealflow, top comp, high exposure to PE clients...
