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 WSO database (only 2 salaries), 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 2021 recruiting would be awesome. Thanks guys!

Hi - Interested in your interview u had with Mesirow. Can you dm?

Good group of folks. I interviewed there about two summers ago for SA, didn't get the spot but everyone was friendly and the interview was mostly behavioral. They promote A2A a lot from what I've seen. Not sure about buyside looks though.
Did you get invited for their super day? If so, how did that process go?
I think there was a lot of info on glassdoor.
how many superdays have passed? does anyone know?

Anyone know anything abt exit opps?
Unlikely, but possible to get to a LMM PE fund.
Heard comp was below street from a friend (pre COVID raises at least)
Also the cut like most of their interns during COVID (like over 50% or something crazy like that).
For what its worth, I did hear culture was good for people who are fratty
