Rothschild London. Great place, you've already signed with the firm, and you had a great connection with the people.

Also... Exp in London ---> Transition to other countries, including Mumbai (easier) Exp in Mumbai ---> Transition to other countries, outside Mumbai (much harder - even if your name and exp is great)

Your long-term aim is India, but being at Rothschild London won't hurt your chances (and I assume you have family ties to India too), and this way, if you change your mind or you're interested in exp in other countries before going back to India, you'll have the option.

Also... Lazard has a real hard culture - I imagine analysts in India in general get worked to the bone, so I wonder how much harder it is at Lazard...

 

Both strong offers my man, congrats. Don't get caught up in the name game - choose what will open the door to where you really want to after your stint. Don't expect Rothschild to treat you any better than Lazard - remember, your'e an analyst. Your next 2 years belongs to the bank - so choose wisely. Best of Luck brother

Can you please comment on your banking experience in india. In terms of the culture/hours. I hear that clients are not as sophisticated in India and therefore you do not learn as much ?

was there a significant amount of modelling ? Also india is very hierarchical, did your superiors treat you well ?

also can you comment on the other analysts ? Is it all connections ? are most banking analysts educated in the states/uk etc

thanks !

btw i strongly suggest you accept london. You can move to india easily later. your base will be stronger.

 
A Fellow Linguist:
If we're talking about NYC, unless you really love the people at Rothschild, you should go with Lazard by far. Better M&A, better restructuring.

yeah, but the problem with lazard is that its a generalist offer at first. of course m&a or restructuring would be great, but my fear is i wont get either. Im from a west coast non target and have no alumni connections, so networking into the groups seems difficult
