Should I take Baird C&R over GS TMT? I want to work with founder-owned/led businesses and I think Baird C&R is one of the best shops out there. GS TMT on the other hand is a glorified middle market that is getting killed by Q and Tidal rn.

Alright firstly, yes do what you want to do. But saying Tidal is killing GS TMT, might be the dumbest thing I've read in a while. They have closed like 1 M&A deal in the last year... GS will always be better than Baird if you are talking brand. Just take the offer that fits with what you want to accomplish in your career. But honestly I think this is just ragebait, cause who tf says tidal is better than GS TMT
If you think cost of living adjusted, Baird is arguably the better shop. Think about the unit economics behind it, leaner deal-teams, collegiate culture, and being a top independent adviser within the space. I don't even think GS even offers that platform at all with their B/S. If you think about it Baird is effectively a black box, where decisions are made behind closed doors. Does GS offer that? Exactly. You proved my point. Baird C&R is miles ahead of GS TMT.
Well obviously sounds like you want to go to Baird then man, so take that offer. Good luck
I wouldn’t even think twice and have that GS docusign filled out by sunrise, but that’s just me…
Why? I'm kinda confused here. Wouldn't baird be better considering the leaner deal teams relative to GS. I see so many GS analysts but not that many Baird??
Honestly, not even a bad choice. If Baird C&R genuinely interests you then go for it.
What do you think I should do? I'm leaning Baird C&R but heard mixed things
Is this FT or SA? I didn’t even know Baird handed out Superday invites.
It's SA, I accelerated GS TMT for it. I'm basically a shoe in for C&R if I want it
Do you know if anyone else got SD invites non dei/accelerated? Since I finished my 2nd round last Thursday.
didn't Baird give trash bonuses?
2/10 
are you out of your mind? Go with GS TMT. Can always switch to Baird later, will never be able to do the reverse
Lmao obviously satire.
I officially signed with Baird - thanks for all your help. Excited to join a growing platform! GS TMT offer was expiring so I had to make a decision
How was baird’s SD by the way? Was it tough and long or not too bad?
