Macquarie Capital Investment Banking Culture in NYC New York

It's early 2019. Hello everyone!

Looking for an updated insider scoop on Macquarie Capital's Investment Banking Culture in New York City at the Associate level.

  • Hours/wk (deal and non-deal breakout). Do they have "walls" for Saturday?
  • Pay (base+bonus breakout)
  • Mobility to buyside

If you have insight on the infrastructure IB team, that'd be even more valuable.

Thanks! CK.
