Which EBs would you choose over Rothschild London?

Hi all - holding a FT offer from Roths London as well as an EB in London (think Lazard, Centerview, Evercore, Moelis).

Thanks in advance!

Go with the people that you like the best. They will ultimately influence your experience, dealflow, hours, quality of life, and exit opportunities more than the name of the bank once you start splitting hairs at this level.

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
 

Rothschild London is incredible both in brand and the amount of deals they do. They are also rapidly expanding in the US (making lots of senior hires) and size of deals will likely continue to increase. They were staffed on lots of mega M&A mandates (Bayer, Essilor) this year and exits (specifically for London) are stellar. I personally would take the offer over any EB in London and lower tier BB

Rothschild London has an incredible deal flow and an excellent reputation in Europe. I have a friend that interned there and he said he worked a lot on live deals. Would defintely choose Rothschild over Lazard (in London at least)
