Baird v. HLHZ v. William Blair v. CS v. DB v. Lazard v. HW - SA
Hey fellow monkeys,
I have offers for a SA position with a few of the firms listed above, and have superdays/am in the process of interviewing with the others. They're all Chicago except for HW in Minneapolis, I know rankings are biased but was looking for somewhat of an idea as to which shops place the best into PE & b-school. Thanks!
Is Lazard, the EB Lazard or Lazard MM?
For me, I'd be hard pressed not to take Blair, but you can't really go wrong. Those all give you PE opportunities.
Lazard as in the EB
Lazard
Lazard or DB
Lazard hands down. The rest aren't really comparable. Trust me, they aren't.
After that, Blair is your next best bet.
After that CS or DB.
Why Blair over CS/DB? Surprised to see that
Lol what?
yeah lol not sure i'm buying that
I haven't been through PE recruiting yet, however, so I may reevaluate after.
Lazard by far
Thanks guys
As mentioned, if this is Lazard and not Lazard MM, then that would rank #1. After that Blair = CS > DB at least in Chicago. HLHZ and HW also place pretty well into PE/HF.
Another question - I'd prefer to stay in Chicago, but will I be putting myself at a significant disadvantage when it comes time for PE recruiting by not doing an analyst program in NYC?
No. Plenty of guys from Chicago place into PE funds. HFs will be much tougher to place into from Chicago and you cannot expect mega funds. However, CS and WB have sent guys into GTCR, MDP, and other very sizable shops.
"HFs will be much tougher to place into from Chicago"
Except for all of the Chicago HF's, of which there are many (though it is also true that it's not even comparable to how many there are in the greater NYC area).
OP, do you know which Lazard group it is (RX or M&A)? Regardless, I'd take Lazard, but RX in Chicago is top.
Of the banks you interviewed with, who do you want to work with?
At this point I'm somewhat indifferent across the board when it comes to the people, in general I've gotten along well with most I've talked to.... Just looking for the best experience possible as a summer and FT analyst
Got it. Good luck on your decision and congratulations on the offers.
