bottom tier prestige, shitty exit opps, try lateraling to BB, EB, MM firm
For which one? I've heard Livingstone places lights out into UMM PE and has landed a few at MFs. In fact, I'd say it has the same prestige as a WB or Guggenheim
just check linkedin, you rarely see anyone from Stephens exit to MF or UMM.
“Blair and Gugg” are not a “class” my guy
Would you not count Stephens as a MM?
bump. is livingstone actually the qatalyst of chicago?
No livingstone is no where close to WB and Baird. WTF are you saying my friend lol.
Sorry about the Livingstone rejection

Stephens may give you a shot into some LMM funds, particularly in the SE. Livingstone isn't on the same level (Stephens is a Tier 3 MM) in terms of size and quality of deal flow.
Wow, it must've been a while since you recruited and have you even been to Chicago? I'd put Livingstone in the same tier as some of the lesser known EBs that punch really hard, such as Allen & Co and PWP.
OP: I'd definitely go with Livingstone, if you interview alright, you can easily go to many of the UMMs in the Chicago area. Placements have been Bain Capital, Madison Dearborn, and Thoma Bravo to name a few.
This was one of the worst trolls I've read

Livingstone advocate clearly a troll if not clear. Livingstone is a relatively unknown boutique, nowhere near the other banks listed. Would also choose Stephens given the better brand name and likely easier path to lateral to MM / EB / BB banks for buyside recruiting. Going straight to buyside will be difficult from either bank
What’d you end up choosing OP?
