William Blair Chicago vs Harris Williams Boston vs Lincoln International Chicago

The title pretty much says it all. I've been researching/thinking this entire weekend about this and I'm quite stuck between WB and HW. Any input greatly appreciated.

 

Maybe, maybe not. My evidence is hearsay at best - I just know a guy who left his bank (which was itself a sweatshop) to join Blair, and then leave Blair for his old bank because Blair was such a sweatshop. Happened a year or two ago so maybe things have changed.

 

It would also help to know what groups you've placed in as well.

My 2 cents aligns with everyone else's in that it be Blair first, but as some mentioned, certain groups are a bit more notorious than others. I heard the Consumer group is ridiculous. Its their highest revenue generating group, but as a result, also has the worse hours by far from what I've heard.
