Opportunity to make a lateral move as a 2nd/3rd year analyst to both these firms in the Midwest.
Anyone have any insightful opinion on the two firms, specifically in regards to exit opportunities to PE?
Thanks

Rarely see any Macquarie alumni in PE...Baird is one of the strongest names in middle market M&A, places extremely well into PE - esp. in the midwest.
No idea on Macquarie specifics, but Baird is generally regarded as one of the better MM shops (along with HW, Blair, and HLHZ).
Pay at Baird is on par with other middle market banks, and you'll get decent sellside M&A experience. Pay at Macquarie is not as good and causes most good people to look for opportunities elsewhere.
I've never seen a Macquarie banker on the buyside (of course they must be out there) but have seen a few Baird people in mid market shops. Also to echo what others have said, Baird will probably pay more so I'd go with Baird for exit ops and pay.
I think at Macq, you have the chance to work on some larger (upper-MM) M&A mandates and debt/equity/lev fin deals as it's a pretty global full service IB, while Baird is purely focused on MM sell-side M&A and equity follow-ons. So it's a choice of experience as well. No idea about pay or culture, you should do your homework on that.
