Chicago Banking Scene Overall

Looking for some insight into the overall banking landscape of Chi. Specifically which offices there are for BB/EB/MM and more importantly the specific coverage teams at each.

Can’t seem to find a good thread on the site with up to date info on this here is what I think is in the city at the moment but am not certain:

BB: GS, JPM, MS, Citi, Barclays, BAML, UBS

EB: LAZ, PWP, EVR, MOE

MM: Blair, Baird, HL, Lincoln, GUGG, BMO, Macquarie, RJ, Piper, JEF, Stout, BGL

Overall just looking for insight into how accurate this list is, any insight on any of these offices, and coverage teams within them if anyone knows. Attempting to make a complete mega list of the Chi banking scene.

TIA
