I have received offers from the above for SA 2021 and I am looking for any advice on which offer to take – BNP Paribas M&A New York or Macquarie (Mac Cap) New York?
Any advice is much appreciated.

Macquarie
Bnpp is growing and one of the strongest European banks atm, Macquarie is great in infrastructure but aside from that they aren’t doing that well recently had 70 layoffs in nyc. The choice is very clear to me
Yeah but this is NYC, and Macquarie is better than BNP in NYC. Different story in Europe
Bnpp runs a way bigger operation in North America than Macquarie dude, check your info before giving out misleading information, anecdotally they pay better too, I interviewed there a while back for lateral hire
Sorry but just curious about when did you hear back from BNP?
curious also what was your timeline line i didn't hear back from first rounds yet
I had my BNP superday on Thursday and got the offer on friday
how long was it after first round you heard back, i still haven't heard back after 4 weeks so idk.
Dont know about exit opps but I have friends in both firms. My friends hate the culture at BNP not much deal flow (though I’m sure its group dependent) and pay is below street. Would not take
In NY that's probably not much of a difference, though BNP is slightly better I'd say.
In Europe BNP hands down - they're among the top banks in Continental Europe (but kinda suck in the UK but still better than Macquarie). Don't know much about pay though.
Do note that Mac just laid off a bunch of bankers including head of TMT, so take that into consideration
Would you be willing to PM about which offer you took?
Bnp is only bank that has 30 days of PTO a year. I have a friend who got an offer. They are really big on work life balance (especially as European bank). That’s the only thing I know
