I have an interview coming up for MBD in one of their equity/credit investing divisions that sits under MBD. The group used to be under SSG but that got merged into MBD.
How are the exits from this group and how is it compared to IBD in terms of reputation (not GS IBD, just IBD in general). Would you take this opp over, say a non-BB/EB IB opportunity?

did they reach out after ur hirevue? is this a superday?
also when did u do ur hirevue
Haven't gotten a hirevue yet because this particular group hasn't started sending them out yet (Source: Alums in the group).
If this is PE within MBD in NY, I'd assume PE exits would be top notch (that is, if you even want to switch to a different firm). The group invests alongside MF PE and you'd be doing PE straight out of undergrad with the GS halo effect / brand name.
It is similar to PE within MBD but isn't in NYC. It's in another city but I know a person who transferred to NYC within the group. It looks into investments at the middle-market level. So, I am assuming the exits would be somewhat on that level?
That sounds like MSI - multi strategy investing. Quite literally harder to get that Blackstone/KKR PE right out of undergrad. If you can get it go for it but people like Ken Moelis' son are the types to intern in MSI.
I'm assuming you're talking about Specialty Lending Group? Based in Dallas / Atlanta. If yes, I don't know enough about that group besides that the mandate is extremely wide (invests in very tiny investments all the way up to what is normally considered MM).
RE: Prospect in IB-M&A: Doesn't sound like MSI. I think MSI is based out of NY and yes I agree it's harder to get into than the MF PE programs. There's a lot written about MSI on this forum with the consensus being that it opens the doors for HF exits.
bump! can someone speak to GS MBD Real estate investing group compared to top BB IB offers and EB IB offers vs PE out of undergrad offers with prestige, exit opps, and growth
I mean a good rule of thumb is don't do real estate investing if you're not interested in real estate. GS MBD Real estate won't give you the traditional PE/HF exit opps you'd get at a BB or EB because instead of starting your career out in a generalist/coverage advisory role with the optionality to shift into a generalist or more specialized investing role, you're starting in a real estate investing role -- fine if you want to do real estate, but not a good place to be just because you're interested in the goldman name.
got it thank helps a lot thank you. it’s in really related to PE then?
Where does PIA fit under GS? MBD? How is that group perceived?
Any idea when they plan to do superdays? Finished HireVue for FT
which MBD subdivision?
Equity, which doesn't tell you much tbh (aside from not being SLG)
Anyone else do the super day for Specialty Lending Group?
how do you know what sub division you are applying for? e.g. Growth/PE under equity? PIA or MSI, etc
bump
Pretty sure the application allowed you to select a subdivision. That’s how I applied to a specific group.
but equity and credit seem rather broad
