Barclays vs. Credit Suisse vs. Guggenheim IBD
I had offers from Barclays, Credit Suisse, and Guggenheim NY IBD for the 2023 summer, and I am choosing between these as the deadline is approaching soon. Would love to hear about any input into culture/groups/exit opps/wlb.
bump
Barclays or Gugg based on the experience you’re looking for. Congrats!
This guy leveragebeast works at PWP and is the most biased guy on this website, don't listen to this guy and go to CS. He has an extremely weird infatuation with low-tier EBS (PWP/Gugg/Green)
Barclays is stronger overall across the board vs. Credit Suisse although CS Sponsors would likely be the best overall group between the two banks. CS M&A is also pretty good. Barclays has better exits, better culture, and better groups for the most part (e.g., would take Barclays HC over CS HC, Barclays Consumer over CS Consumer, etc.).
Guggenheim pays really well and has grown pretty rapidly - I'm guessing they pay more than Barclays but I am not fully up to date on current banking comp. I think Barclays is stronger overall and would personally pick it over Guggenheim but know some people that might choose differently. Depends on fit / what else you value.
I'd also add if you leave finance, Barclays is a much more recognizable name. If you could somehow ensure you'd end up in Sponsors at CS, then I'd go with that, but seems like a risky bet.
^ this is good info
Barclays has some non coverage groups in the IB placement process I believe so be careful about that. If you aren’t confident you can land your group I would take Gugg or maybe CS if you think You have a stronger network there.
I would go with CS or Barc (group dependent)
Just got a spot with CS FSG, which was the only reason I went with CS.
