1) ECM/DCM at Goldman
2) M&A at Barclays
Barclays. Next question
But Goldman has a better (way better) brand name... + You can try to move in M&A. So not that obvious
If you have a clean shot at a M&A group at a great firm that trumps ECM/DCM. The myth of jumping is that it is probably just as hard to jump from Barclays M&A as a top analyst as internally ECM/DCM at GS to GS M&A (AKA you are going to have tough competition no matter what).
But you should really just pick what interest you the most.
Barclays
Is this the UK M&A team? I didn't know Barclays had an M&A team in the United States.
Coverage = M&A for me (as you do maybe 70% M&A, then 30% ECM/DCM)
I'd take Goldman, but mainly because I am more interested in ECM/DCM than in M&A, though this is purely a personal preference.
take the Barclays job. this is a no brainer theyre not the same thing.
