So I am lucky enough to have both offers... What would you choose and why?
And the "do what really interests you or do what you want to do in the future" answer won't really apply because lets assume I am interested equally in both fields.
I'm not complaining, but my only gripe would be that GS has a bit more prestige (in my prestige whore mind) but MS S&T is arguably the best on the street...
Thanks
S&T dude.
I'd love to meet with Jim O'Neill
Which group in GSAM do you have an offer for?
S&T for sure
Do you know what desks you would be on in either?
I would be on institutional equity. I am not familiar with S&T that much. Are there more desks then just equities, FI and derivatives?
Do you want to do AM.......or S&T? Answering that question should pretty much clear this up.
I assume you mean MS International Equities? Because their FICC is not good at all.
MS would be in institutional equities...I was under the impression that MS was the top shop on the street (at least from what my interviewer told me)
MMBinNC - did you mean institutional equity? or international?
And for GSAM I am not completely sure, are there multiple divisions?
S&T. I'd choose Sales ultimately within S&T once/if given a choice. That way, I'd be at the center of the market without taking the pure risk that the traders take.
.
This depends on what you really want to do, but I would go with S&T probably. Derivatives aren't it's own asset class, there are both Equity and FICC derivatives.
MS IED is top on the Street. FID, not at all. Commodities though, which is housed within FID, leads the street along with GS.
If you are interested in Asset Management, take that offer. If you would like a role within S&T, take that. Either way you are getting a phenomenal brand name, great experience, and starting your career in a very solid way.
Does IED stand for Institutional Equities Division? Sorry, I cant seem to find in on wso.
Yea, I meant Institutional Equities, my bad. MS Equities is legit, def one of if not the best in its space. Do you want to do AM or be a trader/salesperson? They are different skill sets and overall a different environment. It's something that you have to decide for yourself. Also, I was under the impression that the more exotic and cool areas of GSAM (and other AM arms) were gonna be cut back a bit because of Dodd-Frank rules regarding in-house HF/PE.
Ahh, I see. Thanks for all the responses guys. Definitely helps my decision.
S&T for sure
