Guggenheim Atlanta
Yes, I know there is a search function, but I could not find any useful info. Thoughts on Guggenheim Atlanta IB? Culture, dealflow, and how would you compare it vs a 50B LO AM FT opportunity

All I know is if Guggenheim is paying what they are, but in Atlanta....my God
Wondering the same - that’s another level first year out of college in Atlanta.
It’s the Gugg MM group. Search for threads on Chicago for info. MDs poach from Suntrust and RJ I believe
For sure one from RJ. Do they pay the same all-in for MM as other groups?
Same base, not sure about bonus
Main MD at the office is a rainmaker who was poached from RJ. Given my knowledge about the Chicago office and a few of the people at the Atlanta office, I would expect very long hours but good culture.
How’s pay in Chicago? Does MM pay same as other gugg groups?
Base is same as NY (now 110,000), but unsure of bonus. Since Chicago office is doing gangbusters, I imagine bonuses are strong, as that is how Gugg seems to roll. .
Yes. The pay bands for bonuses are the exact same in the Chicago/MM group.
Thanks for the input guys. I was already a fan of the location, but it seems like a great office. Hopefully I can get in. Thanks again

Anyone know if they’re hiring?
Extremely strong group. They’re only ~18mos established, just moved into a bigger office and already want to knock down walls to expand headcount. They dominate the MM Saas and IT Services space with a Rainmaker poached from RJ and also work across 3 Rainmakers in Chicago poached from Blair. Part of their PEAG team. Culture seems great, people are down to earth and normal.
+1, this is correct
(I’m not the same Gugg guy / gal as earlier in the thread)
Is hiring frozen right now?
Mind PMing me? Would love to hear more about your experience if possible.
Heard it’s a pitch shop
Salty about your bad deal flow at STRH? Can confirm capacity is currently 80-90% consumed by live deals at the moment. For over half of won mandates, the pitches are a formality and pitch win rate easily >50% for IT services.
80-90%? More like 10% LOLz. Heard all you is pitch repeatedly, but can never lock anything up.
Also heard this
I’ve spent like 10% of my time on pitches vs. execution over the last 2 years. We typically just get hired.
Idk bro not what I heard
Note to all - feel free to NOT believe the above and go try your hand at William Blair ATL, where you get paid a 60k ASO 1/2/3 bonus before getting laid off. Don’t think Houlihan is much better. Until Centerview/PJT/Evercore come to Atlanta (which seems unlikely to ever happen) Guggenheim is the best money/experience combo in town.
How are Barclays/JPM ATL?
Blair’s a complete shit show incomparable
The best….. until Edward Jones comes into town
Atlanta simply isn't the place to be IMO. Not enough deal flow (see above), lack of banks and clients overall.
That’s gotta be racist
Yeah it really sucks being able to buy a 4br / 4ba 5k square foot home on an acre and 5-10 minute drive from the office for $1.5M. Would rather have a 2b/2ba 850 sq ft shoe box in the upper east side, $70k per year pre-school, and pay nearly triple the state and local taxes for a street lined with trash that’s cold for 8 months of the year.
Deleted.
One of the most dominant comment section performances I've ever seen from Summer Associate in IB - Cov
Sounds like someone couldn’t get a job in a real banking city… like Detroit
