Coady Diemar NY vs. JP Morgan Asia?

Is it better to start off as bulge bracket in Asia if I eventually want to be in the US in the mid to long term? What about boutiques like Coady Diemar?

Decision making here depends on your year in school to some extent, and some specific personal factors.

If you are a sophomore and want to be in NY for full-time, JPM Asia is not strictly better than Coady Diemar NY from a networking perspective, which I think is the most important thing leading up to junior year. While JPM is a much better brand name and I don't know what kind of work CDP is doing right now, being in New York - being able to physically meet with NY bankers and network on the ground - is actually a big advantage. It's probably about 50 / 50 between the two here, depending on how good you think you are at networking in-person, and what kind of experience you would get at JPM in Asia.

If you are a junior or not necessarily interested in NY for full-time, you always take JPM Asia. Not complicated, best chance to FT the offer around.
