Haven't seen much info on PWP Chicago on this forum so thought it'd be great to hear a bit about office culture, deal flow, industry coverage, etc from anyone familiar with the Chicago IB scene? Relatively new office so understand there isn't any info regarding exits yet. Appreciate the insight

Primarily Industrials. Very small analyst classes (I believe between 2 and 4 per year). 2 years ago picked up a Citi MD with expertise in the auto industry. Looking to grow / continue to build out their industrials practice, as is the firm as a whole. Did a visit there 2 years ago for school trip and the team seemed pretty personable and happy to have us. Networked with some of the analysts and associates afterwards and they were pretty cool guys
Can corroborate this. Still a fairly new office that is Industrials-only at the junior level. According to a friend in the office, it is a bit sweaty, but more because of how small and new the office still is (not a result of asshole seniors). They have some other MDs/Partners that are Chicago-based, too, like the Co-head of Consumer.
This is very helpful, thanks
Have any analysts exited. Curious to see what placement looks like for them
