I can’t believe I’m chiming in to add color on fucking Dinan, but I have seen a sellside mandate or two from them. But yes, they’re primarily a buyside shop. You can retain them for searches to try to find something off-market.

But I think the real answer to this thread that someone just posted is BGL. Never heard a single positive thing about the jr experience there.

 

I worked at BGL this summer and liked it. The Cleveland office sounds miserable, but as far as Chicago goes, the VPs that propped up the sweaty culture (at least according to an alum who used to work there I talked with) were fired and there's a new HR team (no more suzanne). Most analysts were working from home by like 6 or 7pm.
