JPM SF vs. Moelis SF

Considering lateralling to either of these groups. Both are tech (JPM is coverage).

Which offer would you take? Primarily interested in which places better into buyout. Not interested in growth equity. Not necessarily interested in tech PE specifically either.

Thanks!

 

Already in SF in a tech banking role, so it's easier to make the jump to a better bank in the same location / vertical. I don't dislike tech, but I'm not 100% set on recruiting for tech buyout specifically, so I want to take whichever role will potentially give me better looks in other industries. Thanks.

 

Definitely worth mentioning then that Moelis SF is technically a generalist group, at least at the lower levels. That being said, I believe (don’t work there so can’t 100% verify) the vast majority of their work is still in tech and a small minority is in Healthcare due to the MDs/seniors in the office and SF banking generally.

 

Can confirm that this is accurate. Work at a well-known UMM / MF and JPM SF is going to get you more PE looks.

 

Know folks that have been involved with both of these two groups. JPM TMT will offer more optionality across PE / GE / VC (i.e. SLP, TAA, TCV, IVP, etc.). The group is growing quickly and winning more and more meaningful mandates. When associate recruiting rolls around, you will have your pick of the lot for UMM / MF

 

Ran a quick linkedin screen – doesn't look like many end up placing in UMM / MF and the ones that place into those fund in SF were from the JPM NYC office. 

 

Would say Moelis SF outplaces most firms in SF (think people just don’t know this cause analyst class size is much smaller than BBs). Consistent sends to MF and UMM as headhunters treat them as Moelis LA and essentially a 100% exit rate to buyside in every analyst class. Know for a fact JPM TMT does not place that well despite what others are saying here. They don’t get tier 1 MF buyout looks. Moelis analysts consistently get looks from TPG, KKR, SL, etc, and have their pick of the litter when it comes to MM buyout.
