The title pretty much says it all. I've been researching/thinking this entire weekend about this and I'm quite stuck between WB and HW. Any input greatly appreciated.

Bump. Maybe I shouldn't have posted this one at the peak hour of 2am.
WB > HW = Lincoln
Blair outplaces them both, but if you're deciding between HW and Lincoln, it's close enough that location/other factors should probably decide it.
William Blair. If this was other HW offices, Richmond or SF maybe it would be a slightly different conversation.
Blair is allegedly a sweatshop. That being said, Blair.
That may be outdated, I've heard they've made some changes and the juniors are treated very well now. Which leads me to my suggestion: Blair, no question.
Maybe, maybe not. My evidence is hearsay at best - I just know a guy who left his bank (which was itself a sweatshop) to join Blair, and then leave Blair for his old bank because Blair was such a sweatshop. Happened a year or two ago so maybe things have changed.
Blair all the way dude hands down
Is it really that much better than HW and Lincoln?
It would also help to know what groups you've placed in as well.
My 2 cents aligns with everyone else's in that it be Blair first, but as some mentioned, certain groups are a bit more notorious than others. I heard the Consumer group is ridiculous. Its their highest revenue generating group, but as a result, also has the worse hours by far from what I've heard.
William Blair and Lincoln International > Harris Williams
