So basically I’m a Sophmore and can go anywhere I want. It just has to be Chicago for personal reasons. Just wondering what the most cracked shop is in terms of culture, comp, exits, etc. Thx

BGL
BGL is really really good. Forget about Blair, Lincoln, Gugg and Baird, those are all shit shops. If you want real cracked shops that someone elite like you belongs you go BGL, Stout or Josh International, a bank that we opened at my schools ib club.
Obvious sarcasm that some couldn’t understand.

you go to washu, recruit for lincoln, gugg, greenhill, gs chicago and all the others you've listed in a post before. Landing chicago ib from washu is pretty straight forward and pretty easy. If you have a half-decent resume you'll get interviews at every bank other than maybe evercore.
WashU is mid, ever heard of a more prestigious school such as Western Kentucky U
“Can place anywhere I want” lmao. Looking forward to the “failed ib recruitment and lost” post in 6 months
