Insight into Guggenheim Chicago IBD?

Hi Everyone,

I have applied to Guggenheim Chicago and am quite confident in my chances there with some senior support. I would love any insight into the investment banking division there. I understand that it's newly formed and comprised of MDs from WB and Lazard.

I would really appreciate any insight into how people anticipate deal flow at this office, how its perceived and how it compares to other Chicago MM/Boutique offices (WB, Baird, Moelis). I personally am quite bullish on Guggenheim but would love others' opinions.

Thanks!
