Baird London - Culture, Exits, WLB, Comp

Hi all,

Could anyone in the know give me some info on Baird’s London office? Anything around comp, culture, exit opportunities etc.

Also interested in the learning opportunities (do seniors take an interest in your development etc.) as I’m currently just gone A2 at a bank where seniors really don’t care.

Any info at all is appreciated - on Baird London in general but especially their Industrials / Consumer teams. Thanks a lot!

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“Sahil listened closely to my background and goals, then gave me practical advice tailored to my situation rather than a generic job-search checklist. I especially appreciated his perspective on targeting boutique and middle-market banks, pursuing an internship that would keep me close to deal work while I continue recruiting, and broadening my search to groups such as sponsors and industrials. His suggestions for approaching smaller firms, offering to meet contacts for coffee in New York, and focusing on senior associates and VPs gave me a clearer plan I can act on immediately. He also helped me decide where not to spend time. I left the conversation feeling more confident and much clearer about my next steps.”

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“I had an excellent session with the mentor. I particularly appreciated how structured and thoughtful the discussion was, as we focused on developing my answer to "Why Investment Banking?" and building my seven personal stories for behavioural interviews. The mentor took the time to understand my background, experiences, interests, and career motivations rather than simply providing generic advice. What I appreciated most was how he challenged me to think more deeply about my experiences and identify the underlying lessons, skills, and motivations that I could communicate during interviews. He also helped me think about how to connect my personal experiences with my interest in investment banking in a way that feels genuine and compelling. I left the session with much more clarity on how to approach both my story and behavioural interview preparation. It was an incredibly valuable session, and I would highly recommend this mentor to anyone looking for guidance on their investment banking recruiting journey.”
