I had a great experience with Barclays. I worked with the Consumer Retail group in Chicago, and it was a very tight-knit group: 28 professionals including the Vice President and Managing Director. Though I enjoyed the experience and I got a glimpse of a variety of deals, it did not offer the extensive network of people that New York provides. I received an offer from the Energy group, but I know that if I instead work for Goldman Sachs, I'm going come out with a network of the best and brightest people on Wall Street.
