Barclays vs Guggenheim vs GS AM
Current junior with 3 offers for next summerGot Barclays offer for IB NYC, got Guggenheim last week for IB NYC generalist (i dont know how I got it, was waitlisted for 2 months), and GS asset management in west palm beach covering hedge funds.At a target, although that probably doesn't matter. Which offer would you take?
I’m leaning Barclays, but am curious what WSO thinks
I'd go Barclays. I think the difference between Gugg and Barclays is nominal overall, but Barclays has a great culture and is a BB, which ultimately gives it the edge in my book.
GS AMG in florida sounds great, but I assume pay is lower and it won't leave you with the options that the other two would. Congrats on all offers.
Question is unanswerable because its solely based on what you liked unless you're just chasing prestige or PE? In that case go Barcap IBD I guess
I don’t know what to do, I don’t really care about prestige, but I definitely want to open myself to the best possible exits (not sure if PE/Corp Dev/etc). Given this, would you say to take Barclays?
The reason I say it’s unanswerable is because it’s based on preference. For example I didn’t want to do IBD at any cost so would’ve took Cap Group Research over MS IBD for example. Whereas maybe 7/10 other people would’ve took the MS offer. It’s based on what you think you’ll enjoy. AM isn’t really a career where you look for a light at the end of the tunnel, which is what looking for exit opps often is. I can’t speak for what AM is at a Bank but if it’s the same as Insti shops then i’m sure you’ll enjoy it a lot. Anyways speak to some people and find out what your personality fits best with, not what’s going to give you the best opportunity to reach X goal at the end, good luck!
Barclays will open the most doors for exits. Can still get there with Gugg though. Contrary to what people on this forum say, don't make the decision just on culture. IB culture everywhere is shit, you don't actually know the culture until you start working, and you're going to be exiting in 1-2 years always so might as well go to the best place for exits.
