What's your goal? One is AM the other is IB and you're posting on the HF forum. The roles would have very little overlap in terms of core skillset you're building and what you would be spending the bulk of your time on. Both are obviously great career trajectories, but from a pure long-term optionality standpoint JPM IB is IMO the better option.
