Mesirow Financial, EXIT OPPS, Recruiting, etc Questions please
Does anyone have any information on Mesirow Financial (IBD) in Chicago? There are really no good recent threads on the firm, and I would really appreciate some insight into reputation, exit opps, culture, and comp. According to the WSOdatabase, IB analysts only bring in around $100k or less all in, so I just want to sanity check that because it doesn't seem right. Also, any insight into SA 2026 recruiting would be awesome. Thanks guys!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information in the dataset provided about Mesirow Financial's reputation, exit opportunities, culture, or compensation. Additionally, there are no details on SA 2026 recruiting for the firm.
However, the general compensation figures for investment banking analysts in Chicago, as per the WSO database, show that 1st-year analysts typically earn around $168k all-in. If Mesirow's analysts are reported to earn significantly less (e.g., $100k or less), it could indicate that the firm operates differently from larger bulge brackets or elite boutiques, possibly reflecting a middle-market or regional focus.
For more precise insights, you might want to explore recent threads on WSO or connect with current/former employees of Mesirow Financial. If you're targeting SA 2026 recruiting, leveraging networking opportunities and staying updated on the firm's recruiting timelines will be crucial.
I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help?
