Hey, I've done a good amount of searching regarding Guggenheim's rep, prestige, culture, and exits, but I see a lot of older threads/information and dissenting viewpoints.
I do hear, however, that it's growing quite fast. Does anyone have an updated/recent view on their exits and culture? Had a super with them a few days ago.
Thanks.

Very solid shop. Have a buddy whose an analyst there and he works a lot but its because he gets significant deal flow.

Not a MM. This guy's an idiot. What type of MM bank does Disney/Fox, Reuters/BX, all Verizon and Pfizer deals? Have placed only a few into MFs, but MM PE is getting more common. It's a new bank so historically the exits weren't great but they're definitely better now
honest mistake dude was thinking about something else while i was typing, no need to call me an idiot.

There is no way you already had a superday
Actually this year, there is.
I have a friend that had a superday and got an offer...
M’y superday for Guggenheim was March 23
At a target school for gugg, they have already given out offers for kids they want for summer 2019
Don’t know that much about the firm, but seems like their exits have really been improving the past few years...when they came to present they listed places like Carlyle, Silver Lake, HIG, General Atlantic and Siris as some recent exits....it will be interesting to see where people leave for this summer
would be interested if others think the exits are going to keep getting better or if anyone has better insight
Also curious about Guggenheim's culture. I know a lot of the senior bankers are either former Bear Stearns or big shot MDs from bulge brackets, but what about the analysts/associates? Is it a toxic culture (required facetime, unnecessary work at unnecessary times, do senior bankers actually care about the junior bankers)?
Can't speak from experience, but my school has a fairly large Gugg presence and people seem to love the culture from what I have heard, especially the intern program with tons of events for analysts and interns over the summer. They also talk a lot about how open it is, with senior bankers willing to go to bat for analysts for exits and being generally open to talking with junior members...Could be wrong, but that is what I have heard, although I am sure it is group dependent as well

A kid I used to tutor got a FT offer prior to his senior year and he already was invited to their events and such. Sounds more than solid, culture-wise, to me!
I wil always hold it in high regard for the six figure stripper bill.
.
anyone know anything about their ECM group?
.
Is it like an in-between bank? I thought it was a MM firm but some people say EB some people say MM still.
