Which is Better: EVR RX or HL RX (EMEA/London)?
How would you go about deciding between these two groups? HL is much larger in numbers, both on deal flow volume and headcount, and EVR seems to be having good growth momentum in general in EMEA but leaner team, but less visibility on league tables so far (is that even important in RX?)
How would you go about picking between where to work out of these two firms?
Any insight on comp/learning/culture/hours/WLB flexibility/exit opps is very helpful.
evr rx anyday
Why?
Maybe in the US but my impression is that HL and PJT are top dogs in London
Ignore above comment
Have networked with both groups and selected for one of them for interviews
HL is different tier, EVR team is small and not got the same level of mandates so it's endless pitching
HL has more people though so wouldn't it be a better learning experience at EVR? Especially given recent growth in EMEA?
Which would be less political to work in as a junior from your PoV? Can I PM you?
from what i know based on networking
EVR has few RX deal mandates whereas HL has multiples more
So there's no point working at EVR if HL has astronomically more deal flow
EVR has grown in EMEA but not in restructuring, defo in M&A advisory.
Evercore is less political though so it's as you wish.
HL / PJT dominate EMEA, with the biggest mandates and most deal flow
EVR doesn’t compare at all imo, would likely be much more pitching vs mandates
Work at one of the two above firms and have friends at our counterpart, wlb seems similar with tougher hours and strong exits across with PJT being able to go into PE, whereas HL would be focused on credit
Would the leaner team at EVR offset the lower dealflow vs. HL in terms of learning experience? Where are people friendlier/more open/less cliquey? Are exits that different across EVR vs. HL? How bad is the WLB?
Not even close. EVR gets no business in EMEA. Even Laz and Roths do significantly better.
Close your eyes and pick HL - just bear in mind the culture and hours are quite rough there.
Bump curious for more opinions
