Hands down, Barclays. Experience over brand every time - I would go with even a MM like Oppenheimer or Piper, much less a decent BB like Barclays, over GS Credit Risk.
Yeah fuck MO. I have friends at GS Credit Risk... they play such a small part of the deal process and the skillsets learned are completely different. Comp is lower too. Hours are just as long.
Wtf, why is this a question? Barclays is great. You'd be foolish to not take the IB offer, unless something is really attracting you to credit risk.
Do people making decisions like these ever read all the other threads asking "Non-IB role at X vs IB role"? The answer is to always take the IB role unless you have some specific interest in the non-IB work.
Exactly. Also, don't believe in internal mobility. Unless you're wanting to move across roles within the same office (BO/MO/FO), it's complete and utter bullshit that's probably meant to give candidates like OP enough hope to turn down the actual FO offer.
Such a dumb question...
Hey guys should I work in BB IBD or as a janitor at the Goldman Sachs? Please rank these options for me in terms of preftige and exit opps.
How about BB IBD vs Food Truck guy in front of GS building? Excellent networking opportunity ...
I just honestly wonder how someone who has to ask this question got offers like these in the first place.
I know man. I bet there's kids out there who didn't get any offers reading OPs post and silently crying inside. Everytime I see a post like this it makes me question if the ib interview process has lost its edge.
