Baird Technology & Services Group

Hey guys - wondering if anybody has any insight to Baird's tech & services group, specifically in Chicago. Currently in final interview stage and am interested in deal flow, exit opps, general knowledge of the group. I know Baird has a very strong industrials group and have heard some good things about the tech group but some insider knowledge would be helpful. Is it worth pushing for the industrials group or could I be set up well for a good experience and good exit opportunities if I go to the tech group? All help is appreciated thanks.

I have a friend at that bank in that group and he loves it. Revenue is 2x this year vs last year and salary is expected to get a nice bump as well. So deal flow is extremely healthy.

No idea on exit opps, though. Baird tends to place well as a whole, but that could just be because they have the best industrials group in the MM.
