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?

Are you in an industry group?
If so then you will see a lot. You will liekly see a lot more pitching though.
Depends what bank you are at...
He said BB. I think it is safe to assume he will see some action if he is at any BB industry group.
yeah 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...?
I will be working in Industrial Coverage M&A....what do you think?
A ton of pitching to every PE firm in Chicago. You will execute a few a year.
depends on if GTCR and MDP like your bank
What is GTCR and MDP?
pe funds
Ya I figured that...but what are the extended names, or is that it?
