I'm assuming this is for an associate role? Personally I would go with JPM HC > PJT M&A > MS M&C, but that's just my ranking. Congrats regardless where you end up - all very solid groups.
I think this comes down to sector and EB vs BB. Do you have a strong preference for HC or M&C? If so, do that. Do you have a strong preference for being at an EB? Then that's a pretty clear decision.
From an analyst I know well, JPM healthcare is extremely sweaty - but also arguably a top 2 healthcare group. If it were me I would go with PJT M&A because You can work on healthcare / M&C transactions there but also will make A LOT more than either JPM or MS - with at worst the same hours as the healthcare group and at best better hours.
What type of IB did you lateral from?
Lateraled from a top mm. Thanks all for the input. Any other thoughts?
You'll get absolutely wrecked by JPM HC, one of the biggest sweatshops
Having done both bulge and EB, would suggest you stay at EB through Associate 3 / VP 1 and then switch to bulge at that point if you want to be a career banker to maximize career earnings and max promotion likelihood
