Goldman Securities vs. Barclays IB Decision
Hello, I have a summer analyst opportunity in both Goldman Securities and Barclays IB. I realize that's IB has better exit opps and fits more with my working style (project based) but also know starting a career off a Goldman would be great. Also, I hear there are some project based desks (Principal Strategic Investing, Derivative or structured project desks) that sit in Goldman Securities and overall Goldman has good internal mobility, so a move to IB may be possible.
Any advice on this decision would be much appreciated! Need to make a choice by Monday!
Goldman securities had 50% return offer rate in 2016. Can't start your career at goldman if you don't get a return offer
according to whom?

I'd recommend Barclays IB. Great training, but more importantly a really great culture. Agreeing with @JSmithRE2010, make sure you look for opportunities in an area that isn't consolidating.
Would recommend Barclays ib. s&t is shrinking and internal mobility is not easy.
Agreed. I've heard negative things about the internal mobility. I have a couple of friends who interned on the GS Capital Markets (Lev Fin) team and it's been nearly impossible for them to switch from a somewhat similar role to IB, so I can't even being to imagine how hard a switch from GS S&T to GS IBD would be.
