Rothschild NYC vs William Blair Chicago

Curious how these two places compare. Interested in consumer/retail. I know Blair is the top MM in Chicago, but I was wondering if anyone knew how dealflow, comp, and culture compare between the two. I’m more interested in long term IB than exiting to PE, but I’d like to keep my options open.

You want to work in Chicago. You know Blair has a top MM consumer team. Seems like an easy decision to me.
