William Blair Chicago vs Harris Williams Boston vs Lincoln International Chicago

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.

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.
