What's the 2020 status of reputable MM/Boutique firms? (i.e. Rothschild, PJS, Foros, Dyal, Allen, Raine, etc)

I'm looking to lateral and even talking with alums from my school, I'm having trouble putting a finger on the pulse of these firms. Obviously it's tough with the coronavirus, but how have they done recently prior? Obviously for the merchant banks, I'm sure they have other revenue streams, but how have the M&A focused banks, like Dyal, MKlein, and Foros done, versus other smaller banks with other avenues of strength, like Rothschild (in the US)? Any bankers from these firms here?

Rothschild obv weaker in the US vs Europe, but is looking to grow quite a bit over the next few years in North America. Would think its a good place if you want to stay in banking longer but can't speak to exit opps. Also churns through a large deal count, so there's some smaller deals in there too which is something to think about if you would rather work at a place with a higher average deal size.
