Macquarie vs HSBC vs Barclays
Hi guys,
My friend has offers at these places and he would like to know which one you would choose and why.
Macquarie - M&A - TMT
HSBC - Strategic Transactions Group
Barclays - M&A
He is leaning towards Macquarie. They have a solid team who have done some big deals in technology sector.
Please give me your thoughts and what you would pick.
Originally your post for Barclay's said DCM, what kind of shit are you trying to pull?
And are you talking about MACQ TMET in NY? If so, pm me.
Sorry about misleading you. Its my friend, he will PM you from my account soon. Yes it is TMET in NY. Thanks for the help man.
He prob got rejected for everything but macq, lol. macq blows.
Yeah probably. Thanks for the constructive comment.
Hey guys, listen its on behalf of a friend, I personally did not interview at any of these places, he got an offer at these places and he dictated me to ask the following questions on his behalf. I'm sorry to mislead you guys. Just any positive feedback would help and I could pass it on to him.

The only people who bash macq, piper, etc are insecure kids at lesser bb's and boutiques who feel the need to validate themselves. Think guys in MS M&A are trolling with non-constructive shit bashing other banks?
That said, this whole "my friend told me to post" doesn't make any sense. It takes 2 minutes to make an account.
Yes it does, I'll ask him to make one and PM you. Thanks.
chimpb: mac and piper are not bb's. both are pretty bad mm boutiques, just like the one you work at
kaush: yea ok u sure its not just gonna be you in a new account?
Buddy, I'm just trying to get him some constructive feedback. I will ask him to create an account and PM chimp. And he is name is not Danny.
your friend's name Danny and does he go to a very very non-target?
admit it, it's YOU and you want to work for Macquarie.
Personally I would send an e-mail to Piper Jaffray (the best out of all 3) telling them that I had these three great offers but would really love to talk to you first...
Not sure what that HSBC group is, I'd be curious to hear what exactly they do. Macquarie gives you your group with your offer, BarCap you have to wait until training, but I think you generally get your first choice. If doing TMET is really important, then maybe Macquarie's a better fit if you absolutely don't want to take that chance.
I think Macquarie's team has great experience (lots of senior laterals from JPM, LEH/BarCap and GS), but I don't think too many big deals have come through Macquarie in the US, it's MM after all.
I'd probably take BarCap if I wanted to do anything but MM IBD or MM PE long-term, Macquarie will promote you from within to do those things, but if you're thinking about B-School/moving to a top-tier BB/megafunds/VC/etc then BarCap might give you better exposure.
