I have two offers: one from JPM's risk team and another one from Citi's Capital Markets origination. I am having a tough time choosing. I interened with JPM and I like the culture and I see there is much mobility. However, Citi is offering me a great front office role, but doesn't have much deal flow and has little transferable skills

always do front office
IB risk is front office
How is risk front office?
How do you define front office?
Comps? they are about the same as an IB analyst, and with much less hours. Therefore probably higher hourly wage
Client facing? They speak with client all the time!
People? Not sure about JP, but the firm i work for, Risk is the smartest people i know.
risk doesnt directly generate revenue
take the Citi role dude
This is apples to oranges. With Citi CMO, you will be an actual banker. This is not the case with JP Risk Management, though JPM does have a top notch risk management group which can lead to HF opportunities (in risk).
risk management is specialized. You might not want to pigeon-hole yourself. I'd go with Citi.
I knew people at both... I'd say go with Citi CMO... its def FO plus you get to work on actual deals... and if you get lucky you can get a role in LevFin
Citi CMO will be a lot more interesting and you'll see more variety, especially if you're going in as an analyst. You can also easily move to just about anywhere else in Citi for your 3rd year if you do a good job and want to move.
Citi. No question.
