Equity research is pretty sector focused. While it's nice to have a name brand on your resume like JPM, I think most analysts are looking for the skills and not necessarily the pedigree, from my experience. If you can demonstrate how you would be an asset to his/her franchise, then I think whatever you can develop (skillwise, experience, etc) would be the most beneficial. For example, if you wanted to break into a healthcare ER role, then I would say having a job in the pharmaceutical/biotech/medtech/healthcare management space would be alot more beneficial than working whatever the ops role is at JPM. At least in the industry role, you have the capacity to build knowledge that is transferable to a ER position in the healthcare space. Does this make sense to you? Hope it helps.
