JPM pb promotion rate and survival
Hey guys,
I will be a SA this summer for the JPM PB, I’m really excited about the role and eventually hopefully going full time. I’m wondering from people with experience at the firm, once analysts get promoted and start building their own book, what percent roughly are able to meet the requirements? Also, I’ve read some offices you will inherit clients where some you won’t, what have you guys seen and how did you go about getting clients if you started from scratch?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know:

Hope this helps, and good luck with your summer internship!

As someone who works in a top five Private Bank office in terms of aum it totally depends if you get placed in single coverage less than 5 million and partner coverage, which is more than 25 million as an analyst on the partner coverage side I can tell you we work way more than the single coverage analyst. This job is heavily dependent on who you get aligned with as it is basically a mini apprenticeship, so it may sound appealing as a business model that you will be able to learn from your advisors but if you work with a few advisors that are not great or tough you kind of are stuck and it is very hard to have an alignment shift. great job for learning if you are interested in wealth management or finance in general, but can be very competitive, as many areas of finance are it is not a 50 hour week job until you make it as banker. I can speak for partner coverage analyst we are there 75 hours a week
How many hours are associate and vp bankers working?
Gotcha and interesting the partner coverage analysts work more. Are you randomly assigned to one of the two for the summer? Also, as someone working as an analyst right now how do you feel about the future? I guess the main thing I’m wondering is since it’s hard to get clients once you are promoted and a lot of people fail, where do they go? I’ve heard exit ops are bad but that could just be people on here. Do you have any insight into what you’ve seen bankers or investors move to if they move on from the pb?
Terrible place to work at if you don't want to do wealth management in the long term. Echo what MBLOCK said, it really depends on who you work for. In the end, this is a sales business. No offence to people who work there, but most of the people I know are all talk and no substance. They basically memorize the 'JPM View' and regurgitate that to clients.
Exit ops are horrible, and no, it's not just people on here. People just move to other PBs or go to IR, or some fund sales at a AM house. I mean, you literally don't develop any technical skills whatsoever. I would highly discourage anyone joining unless you are convinced you want to work in wealth management in the long term. You work long hours, but you don't do any model building, so not a lot of transferrable skills if you want to leave. You do a lot of administrative tasks as an analyst, like helping your advisor unblock trade accounts, or prepare suitability forms for their clients. Does this sound like a transferrable skill to you? Probably not. I mean, why work 75 hours at a private bank?? I would rather spend that time at IB/PE/HF/AM. It is MUCH easier to move from IB/PE/HF/AM to PB, than the other way round.
Future is bleak if you do not have your own book. If you are lucky, some advisors might pass on their clients to you. But again, those clients are probably either shitty/no revenue/no delta opportunities. Why would they give you their best clients?
Thanks for the input and yeah that’s what I’ve heard for the most part. Do you think it would be feasible to move LOBs after my summer. I know ib isn’t happening and I don’t think I would want to anyway. But anyway would something like commercial banking be a possible option? Or am I stuck at the pb unless I don’t want to come back to jpm full time? For reference my city is a bigger office non ny that has cb and ib so I should be able to do some networking this summer. Any help is appreciated because while I find pb interesting being stuck in a industry where the vast majority fail doesn’t seem like a great choice lol
