Consumer Retail IB - GS vs MS vs JPM

Anyone has insights on the Consumer & Retail teams at GS/MS/JPM (NY)? Looking to get a sense of dealflow, culture, long-term progression.

I heard GS CRG does not have sharp elbow types compared to other groups at GS, but what about vs. MS and JPM?

Thanks

They provided thoughtful, practical feedback on how to highlight my experience, communicate my strengths, and present myself more professionally.

“Jeppe was a great reviewer to work with. He took the time to understand my background properly before making any changes, asked thoughtful questions, and helped me present my experience far more clearly and convincingly. He was honest and practical in his feedback, responded quickly, and kept the process moving smoothly from start to finish. He also shared useful perspective on the job market and where to focus next. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their CV. Also very responsive.”

Clearly they are outstanding humans and a blast to work under if the team has juniors on medical leave
