Full time offers London: JPM vs Moelis vs Lazard
Hey! I am deciding between three full time offers in London. Which one would you pick between Moelis and Lazard (both mixture of restructuring and M&A) andJPMorganM&A. I am very interested in distressed and restructuring but not 100% sure yet. DoesJPM有一个巨大的品牌优势Moelis and Lazard. How does Lazard stack up to Moelis in London. Which bank has the best exit opps among those three. I am 100% sure I want to stay in finance but outside ofIB, just do not know if I want to join aHFor aPEfirm. I am not interested in corporate development or any other type of exit opp.
To me the biggest unknown seems to be Moelis London, when speaking to fellow classmates it seems clear that JP>Lazard, however when mentioning Moelis some people claim it is the best among the three while others rank it as the worst. What is the truth? How are the exit opps there?

In London,JPMis the strongest name. As overall experience, I'd Say it's on par with Lazard, but I'd takeJPM. Moelis is quite far from both Imo

JPM>=Laz (equal if interested in Rx)>>> Moelis

Lazhas a better brand name, works on bigger deal, is more established. On the M&A side Moelis is quite/very weak. And moelis is belowLazin Rx too although closer compared to M&A.
I am assuming you are using two accounts but there are some good responses://www.yjhypon.com/forums/moelis-co-london-0
Someone listed the market share of the 100 topIBsin EMEA - not that moelis is just above GHL with 1% market share at the 30th place. WithLazbeing top 8 with 10% - should be quite self explanatory for M&A.//www.yjhypon.com/forums/investment-banking-in-london-eme…
Lazclass size is 40 and moelis ~8-12. BasicallyLaz2.5x more market share per analyst in the class - not so relevant metric but you mentioned it.
theRXteam at Moelis in London is pretty good. I have no idea how they are doing on theM&Aside.
Most people I know that worked inIBDatJPMorgan in London hated it.
Honestly from all three you can create the same exit opportunities for you with a clear gear towards distressed if you doRXatLaz/ Moelis.
See my WSO Blog
Because most of this website is US-based, you will see a more positiveaccount of Moelis' rankings as they do better in the US. In Europe,elite boutiquesdo not occupy the same position as they do in the US apart from a few.Lazardis one of these and is certainly ahead of Moelis.
If you do really enjoy a much smaller analyst class then take that into account, but in terms of prestige, Moelis falls behind the other two.
Also, be warned I have had people from Moelis tell me before that it is a sweatshop even in London. Lazard can also be very long hours too.
You should choose Moelis if you want to suffer from Karoshi. Otherwise,JPM>=Laz.
I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
