Macquarie IBD vs. Morgan Stanley PWM

What do you guys think of joining Macquarie Investment Banking Group (either infrastructure or TMET) vs. MS PWM. Both positions are in HK.

Which position offers better future career progression and compensation? Thanks guys.

Mac IBD is still ranked relatively lower in HK, not sure if infrastructure or TMET will have that much deal flows, since it seems most of their acquisitions are elsewhere(think Thames, Qantas). But as above said it depends on the path you want to take, don't rely on the prestige/brand name of the firms to decide. Either way, hk's the place to be lol..
