Hi,
I've currently deep in the interview process of these few companies, meaning I know if I made or or not within the next two weeks.
Goldman Sachs as a IB Analyst
Macquarie as an IB Analyst
IHS as a Research Analyst
A fourth role opened up Thursday, and a headhunter has presented my background(I fit the background) for an Equity Research Analyst at MM Firm.
I have 1.5 years experience. 9 months as an intern in the PE sector, the last 7 months for two contract roles in two of the largest corporations in the world overall(and oil & gas sector).
Is anyone aware of Macquarie or IHS? My next step is more so a career than just a job, I'm looking for somewhere I can go from Research Analyst to Strategy Consultant(during career lifecycle) or IB Analyst to a Managing Director(of a PE Firm).
Goldman I doubt i get in, I just got turned down by McKinsey in the final round and I'm being honest with myself here.
avoid macquarie. i don't know much about IHS.
Macquarie is really strong in Australia and great with ER in the US.
Which sector team in Macquarie?
Also, which office? If they are recruiting you for Resources team in Macquarie Capital, that would normally be a Calgary job. I'm not sure how deep or strong their Resources sector group is in NY.
If you're looking at their PE & mezz style principal transactions group team (ie working for Duncan Murdoch and Michael Silverton), that team is fairly busy, do a lot in the preferred equity and mezz space in mid-market LBOs, working with PE firms who target that space (eg Kelso). They also do direct equity eg a hire car deal last year. As an intern, you may find yourself out in the field, visiting car lots.
I'd recommend Macquarie, but that's likely because I'm an Australian.
MacCap Advisors, here in Houston, covering the O&G sector. I took the assessment this morning, pretty sure I bombed it. They wanted someone with limited exp.(1-3 years) that has PE or IB experience(have 9 months of PE internship) and can be an up & comer. I have 9 months at PE firm, and have had two contract roles at Shell & currently one other large O&G corporation.
IHS is like a 2nd tier version of Wood MacKenzie. Energy Research, etc. I'd be an analyst on the downstream section.
Ideally, as an Econ Major, anything advisory-based or quantatively-research based is intriguing which both of these roles are.
I tried to go the prestigious route; got knocked off in the 2nd interview at McKinsey, 3rd interview at BCG, currently still interviewing at Goldman but doubt I make it. I do want to keep the quality of my resume up, I don't think either of these options provide that, but they offer very good pay relative to what i make and very interesting roles.
Are either of these giant dents in my resume, for future exit opps? And what are exit opps as a Research Analyst at a strategy management firm(I'd be working under IHS's new acquisition which is a boutique consulting firm).
Get this.
Macquarie rejected me because they weren't convinced I wanted the role, but convinced I wanted to work at Macquarie.
Sorry to hear, but they were just letting you down easy. Doesn't seem like legitimate feedback, just keep hustling.
