Congrats! I'm envious LOL...not really but that's still impressive!

I would take Greenhill or Credit Suisse depending on what type of environment you want to work in? Greenhill is smaller and more entrepreneurial. Credit Suisse is larger and more structured and is international.

Never heard of the PE firm, but that might be the best option since its rare for PE firms to take undergrads and most ppl go to IB just to get into PE.

Just go with the firm that you liked the most and with the one where you felt you were wanted the most!

Do what you want not what you can!
 

i dont want to do the typical route, mind

here is info i've gotten from talking to my recruiters:

CS offer is in a weird five-person small-cap commodities team - no prestige Greenhill sounds great - good pay, prestige, environment, probably my top choice Macquarie has an awesome salary offer and i think they are on the way back up - good second choice in my opinion

FBR and Charterhouse are too little-known.. and i dont really want to do pe

I think you've already answered your own question. It's between Greenhill & Macquarie. If you're looking to stay in finance, I would most definitely take Greenhill over Macquarie, because it's a more prestigious name. Outside of finance, maybe more people will have heard of Macquarie... though I may be giving the non-finance world too much credit since it's a non-US bank.

I would take GHL even if the salary is lower than Macquarie (how much lower - 10-15k?), because the name is worth more in future opportunities.
