Hi, Wondering about two specific offers I have and what makes more sense in the long run- BlackRock ETF & Index Investing or MS IB. If I wanted to go buyside eventually does starting at BlackRock help me or hinder me at all? Is the ETF/Index Investing team a better opportunity than just IB? What’s potential career paths/salaries?

It depends. What type of buyside institution do you want to work in eventually? Unless the answer is "I dream of working for an ETF/Index fund" the answer is 100% MS IBD. It will help you develop the technical skills, give you top notch deal exposure and access to a massive network. No question the pay will be higher as will the hours. Speaking with folks across long-only AM, HF, PC, VC and being in PE, it seems like no one respects or takes the index cucks seriously. I'd put them maybe a notch above insurance sales at Northwestern Mutual. You're not doing critical analysis, in-depth modeling or contributing any real value/insights.
The Blackrock name is great, but seriously fuck ETFs. Leave that to the machines. If that's your dream job then I assume you wouldn't be asking the question, but on the off chance it is I apologize for shitting on your feelings.
MS IB is a much better option. IB has many exits opps for analysts... PE or HF or anything else
