Does anyone have any information on Mesirow Financial (IBD) in Chicago? There are really no good recent threads on the firm, and I would really appreciate some insight into reputation, exit opps, culture, and comp. According to the WSO database (only 2 salaries), IB analysts only bring in around $100k or less all in, so I just want to sanity check that because it doesn't seem right. Also, any insight into SA 2021 recruiting would be awesome. Thanks guys!

SA 2021 app is open - really nice guys, and 26 or so bankers on staff.
What did their interviews consist of or look like? 1st found and super day? Technicals
Any information on comp and exit opps?
I interviewed with Mesirow Financial IBD. Nice group and comp offered was market. No idea on exit opps.
By market do you mean $135k all in for An1s?
Do you remember how technical the first round interview was or any of the interviews?
What was their superday like???
bump
Good group of folks. I interviewed there about two summers ago for SA, didn't get the spot but everyone was friendly and the interview was mostly behavioral. They promote A2A a lot from what I've seen. Not sure about buyside looks though.
Did you get invited for their super day? If so, how did that process go?
I think there was a lot of info on glassdoor.
how many superdays have passed? does anyone know?
know of one guy who went from mesirow to huron capital in detroit. 500m fund lmm pe
Have a buddy at Mesirow in Chicago, he’s on the AM side not IBD but says culturally the firm is great
has anyone received first round
Anyone know anything abt exit opps?
Unlikely, but possible to get to a LMM PE fund.
Heard comp was below street from a friend (pre COVID raises at least)
Also the cut like most of their interns during COVID (like over 50% or something crazy like that).
For what its worth, I did hear culture was good for people who are fratty
Know anything about their superday???
