Moelis vs Rothschild - London

Moelis or Rothschild for Exits/Prestige/Reputation/Deal flow

Asking specifically for London.

I understand Rothschild is the most prestigious non-bb bank in Europe (and ranks very high in league tables top 5), but how far behind is Moelis? I also understand that pay would be slightly superior at Moelis. Currently holding offers from both and deciding. (Both M&A/sector/rx)

Thanks

 
Analyst 1 in IB - Ind:
Sounds like someone is at Rothschild.

(FWIW I can understand arguing Rothschild > Moelis, but stating that "Most people would pick Rothschild over anyone in Europe" is just silly)

It isn't far from the truth. Most of the Analysts in my class that were from Europe and wanted to move back to Europe obsessively targeted Rothschild.
 
Analyst 2 in IB - Gen:
Never heard of anyone pick RTH over GS/MS/JPM/PJT/LAZ and sometimes BAML/Citi/CS.. definitely a great shop with a strong dealflow, but you’ll work mainly on UK deals and culture isn’t great.. I’d take it over Moelis LDN hands down though
TBH, if you're Jewish, a lot of people would take RTH over all of the above. Including a friend of mine who chose Rothschild NY over GS & Citi.

PJT? Dude come on, this isn’t New York?

To OP’s question, Moelis is decent but not as strong as Rothschild. You need a solid network of European satellite offices with people on the ground to make an EMEA business work and the only places that have that are the big global banks, Lazard and Rothschild. Hence why those shops dominate the league tables and the other EBs do not.
