Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights into lifestyle shops in Chicago where the hours might be more manageable:
Regional Boutiques: These firms often offer a better work-life balance compared to larger banks. According to a post on WSO, working at a regional boutique can mean averaging 50-60 hours a week, with more predictable schedules and fewer last-minute requests.
Baird: While there are mixed reviews about Baird, some users have mentioned that certain groups within the firm, like consumer, might offer a better lifestyle compared to others like Industrials or Healthcare.
Lincoln Park and West Loop: While not specific to firms, these areas in Chicago are recommended for young professionals due to their proximity to the financial district and a good balance of affordability and amenities.
