Please share advice about culture, hours, comp, prestige, etc. I have an SA offer at JPM/MS/PWP and was wondering if I should take Macquarie MIRA infrastructure PE instead. I went through an accelerated process. I don't mind being "pigeon holed" into infrastructure. Thanks.

I only know them by reputation, but hours seem to be pretty good and comp is competitive. (London office)
This is for NYC office - apologies for not specifying.
Not sure about the NY office but knew a couple of guys who used to work in their Asia team - good comp and hours
Can verify. Had a schoolmate who did his SA stint at MIRA, the comp matches BB IB. Hours about 10-15% less.
Bump.
Someone left there to go to KKR infra, and someone else to carlyle energy in London... very good in the infra/energy space
As a junior in NY, you’d be better off in banking. Getting the right technical skills in MIRA is luck based on who your manager is
Do you know the return offer rate for MIRA?

Odd that this thread seems to have a very positive view of MIRA's culture and WLB, in sharp contrast to all the recent discussion about Infra PE (to the point that the toxic cultures at other infra megafunds was blamed on their leadership being ex-Macquarie).
From those I’ve met, MIRA seems to have the same stiff culture and tough hours that exist at many other infra shops… not sure if others have heard differently as of late but there’s a reason why funds with ex-Macquarie folks leading have the tough reputation they do. Could also be people combining MIRA and MacCap into the same bucket when these are distinct groups within Macquarie and I’d also imagine they have different cultures (although I’ve yet to hear good things about MacCap culture / WLB as well).
