Blackrock infra is OK it's just in Greenwich, personally would not move there. You never really heard about them until they did Gigapower JV with AT&T. They have some good people in digital from what I hear (ex-MS comms group head). It appears to be more core infrastructure versus the sexier stuff. 

Don't know much about MS RE but if you're set on doing infrastructure there are better names. Still a decent gig though, what are they paying?

Would say a brief stint at either is fine. MS gives you the excellent brand name of a GS/MS/Citi type firm and allows you that prestige early on. But at Blackrock, you would be interning with the Apex predators of the finance / investment banking game. They manage literally $14 trillion, which is almost the market cap of the entire world times two. At Blackrock, you would be loaded rich even if you owned just 1% of their AUM. Think about that. Also what is RE PE?

Edit: satire

 

okay how about Macquarie infra vs blackjack infra. I have a feeling like it would be Macquarie personally
