What firms in Chicago have generalist programs? What are the interviews like? Will it be similar to NY generalist programs or skewed to industrials? Thanks.

Why Chicago and just go on LinkedIn and look at ND alum in Chicago.
Casting a wider net. I'm still thinking about recruiting for Chicago, maybe the generalist banks. So far, NY and SF/Bay.
Blair Baird and Lincoln are generalist roles. Theyre headquartered in Chicago and have all vertical groups. I believe Laz has a generalist group in Chicago too, and part of JPM’s M&A group sits our of Chicago. The other banks are industrial focused other than a few that have niches.
