Hi there,
I have a short question.
I have a full-time offer from Macquarie and an off-cycle internship offer from Barclays, both IBD. I would appreciate any advice in helping me choose. Thanks in advance.

Which team at Macquarie?
Possibly Oil and Gas or Infrastructure.
Oil and Gas - do you mean oil & gas in Macquarie Capital's Resources team or energy transmission and storage in their Infrastructure team?
The groups at Macquarie Capital's are 1. Resources and 2. Infrastructure, Utilities & Renewables to be more specific. It is 99% decided that I would be in the latter group if I choose Macquarie.
I'd choose infrastructure over resources at Macquarie US. I've got no view on Barclays.
Macquarie Capital Infrastructure has their funds group as a not quite captive client. Those funds are cashed up and active in North America. ie you get good deal flow you don't have to work too hard to win, vs wasting a lot of your life preparing pitch books and never doing real deal work, which is a common story at many IBs.
Also, modeling for infrastructure treasures some really solid modelling and financial engineering skills that will serve you well in any sector. Much more meaningful approach to valuation than preparing price to sales comps that you see some TMT teams doing.
Thanks a lot SSits.
