GUGG IS FUCKING ASS
It’s not an “EB”, the exits are cancer, the pay is street at-best, bitches have no fucking clue what Gugg is, and it’s the ugliest sounding name on the planet. Nobody you meet will think you’re cool if you work there. Please put it in the middle market where it belongs. You agree every time someone says they work at Gugg in a response to you, immediately you think “wow, couldn’t crack a BB/EB lmao”
Is it not a MM?
Banking overrated
Man some of you take the bait so easily
Agree that’s it’s absolutely not an EB, pay is good, but it’s known on my campus and others as the place where the dimmer minds tend to end up
thanks intern
"dimmer minds" is crazy
At my top target people are choosing all of the following over Gugg in every scenario: Q, GS, MS, JPM, Citi, BofA, CVP, EVR, PJT, PWP, MOE, LAZ, the niche boutiques if the priority is compensation: Allen, Dyal, AEC, LionTree, M Klein, TPH, and in some group-specific or culture driving reason: Roth, Barclays.
Is niche boutique comp so much more attractive than Gugg? Heard they pay top of street, or at least in line with mentioned boutiques
Comp at unknown boutiques (Dyal, AEC, Klein) can be significantly more than peers if you’re a top analyst on the right deals. Small team = make it rain.

I don’t understand the Gugg hate? Can someone explain?
Congrats on your recent SD ding
Sorry to hear you didn't get the offer
I mean they churn middle market deals but that’s fine so does many
ASO 1/2/3 VP 1/2/3/4 comp was 425/525/600 and 675/750/825/900. Keep dreaming if you think people choose BoA over that
AS1 425K? LMFAO UR HIGH AS FUCK.
325 at best
Can confirm ASO 1 goes up to 425k. Guggenheim pays quite well among the boutiques
That’s about right, and it’s across the platform, Not completely group specific.
But please don’t bother applying, retention is high and turnover is low relative to the industry.
Not worth trying to FT re-recruit for them?
Know that there was a SD very recently, so assuming you may not have received your desired outcome, I empathize with your frustration and bitterness. That said:
Regardless of whether you choose to categorize it using some arbitrary title made up on WSO, the facts are the facts: GUGG pays near top of the street and is in fact a boutique that works on high profile deals while churning MM ones (look at the deals they've closed over the last few months if you care to). Fwiw, based on what I've heard from friends at many different banks, it is the least miserable place to work - rid of personalities that may make posts like these. Keep pushing, there's a place out there for you.
When did they have SD? Are they still sending out rd1’s?
If gugg is fucking ass then I love fucking ass
I’m sorry if you felt the technicals were too hard. FWIW, we care more about culture fit and that’s what ultimately drove the ding
I’m sorry if when you tell a girl you work at Guggenheim she barfs in her mouth. Not from the lack of prestige, but from purely the way it sounds
