Be careful with infra groups, at some places it's a legitimate M&A group, but at many banks it's just straight project finance under a different name and you won't get any PE exits. Macquarie is excellent at infra since it's all they do. I think JPM, C and MS have dedicated infra groups that do more than just PF.

P&U will be easier to lateral into (more spots) and would get you looks from any top infra shop. Barclays, C, BofA are some good names

don't agree with this. there's very recent threads on top power teams. 

Macquarie only does work for MIRA, their PE arm and rarely wins outside mandates. 

JPM is not a major renewables player. Barclays is mostly thermal but living off a legacy reputation from 10 years ago. 

 

Who said anything about renewables? That's a separate group at most banks...

lol the infra groups are much smaller at all those banks than power / renewables. 

energy / infra PE takes from power teams way more often than infra. 

believe infra at JPM / C / MS is straight PF and not as desirable to coverage / M&A experience that OP is looking for

(also don't immediately throw MS at me you fn moron)

I'm not the one MSing you, debate and differing opinions on here are both good and probably helpful to OP

I said in my original comment that P&U was probably a better place and more spots than infra, and that "infra" is often just PF. But at least 2 of those 3 infra groups I named are not PF (from personal experience and close friends' experience).

Energy is also a way to get to infra but only a few teams sit in NYC, doubt OP wants to go NY -> Houston -> NY when they could get a NY P&U seat. P&U is a really natural step to infra so that seems like what OP should target

think we are saying similar things in different languages :)

Hey not sure if you are still checking this but I am a college senior heading in IB, really interested in Infra PE would love to ask you a few questions if you don't mind. Can I dm you?

 

I had a poor experience with OneSearch so surprised to see the favorable comments. I've received multiple messages from them on Linkedin, and text messages (I never gave out my number). In particular - Benedette reached out a few different times, each time confirmed a time and then flaked, wasted half an hour of my time. Would not recommend after multiple similar experiences.  Another time, a HH from their team called out of the blue and interviewed me aggressively for 45 minutes, then introduced a role that clearly did not align with my background - very bizarre.
