Applying for Macquarie Capital's SA program for 2010 and noticed that besides some product specialist groups (ECM, DCM) there were several industry groups but no independent M&A, restructuring, or leveraged finance groups. I was wondering if Mac Capital is similar to Goldman in that its people in in the different industry groups do all the M&A advisory, IPOs, and other activity themselves.
Thanks!
There is definitely an independent restructuring group. I don't believe there is an M&A group and don't think they really do much levfin and that there is no levfin group.
Mac follows Goldman's structure, ie. no specific M&A group. They do have separate ECM and DCM groups though but these are more focused on pricing / research support for the industry groups.
And fordham, it would be good if you could justify your opinion towards Mac. I'm not saying the bank is great - I don't know enough about their global presence to form an opinion - but perhaps you can elaborate?
league tables my friend. they are performing horribly, they have 0 presence, and the bank got hurt bad from the recession. It was mediocre before and now it just stinks. Pay is also pretty bad and the overall culture is australian/peasant-like.
Given Macquarie's recent slate of acquisitions and the amount of people they have poached from BB's, I would have trouble believing they were more affected by the recession than any other bank. Why are you trolling this kid's post when he's asking for help? Do people make Fordham jokes every time you try to ask a legitimate question... If you ever have on this site?
Much appreciated guys, awaiting a reply from HR now. Just for clarification, I am applying to the HK office. Like what budfox88 said, I feel that the bank's not doing any worse than a BB, especially in the asia pacific region. If anyone knows someone working in the office, please PM me. I am pretty serious about working there.
"I am pretty serious about working there" - Hah, get the offer first
