Deal Flow and Execution

As a first year Analyst in a Chicago BB next year, will I see a good amount of deal flow and actual execution take place within the Chicago office or will most things be sent to NY?

WizardofOzyeah he'll see some action, but in Chicago a lot depends on your bank, in terms of deal flow and execution

Very true. I think the group will be a more important factor. If it is a capital intensive industry (like energy) then he will see a lot of action since the indurty groups do the majority of capital raising execution. (not likely energy if it is Chicago).

If it is GS then he will see even more action since Goldman doesnt have the product groups (i.e. M&A) that others like JPM has.

No matter what you will pitch your ass off though.

 

what are your exit opportunities when you have completed the analyst program in IBD in a sector coverage team without doing a single live transaction/execution. 2years in the office only pitching, pitching without meeting any clients...?
