Curious as to what people familiar with the tech banking space think about the comparison between these two. I know EVR has been on a tear recently, especially in tech but are these deals ran out of their MP office or NY? How does JPM measure up to this? I have heard they don't do much M&A out of SF. Which group is viewed as more desirable from the perspective of PE / GE firms on both coasts? Where would you rather work?
Thank you!

Anyone know about culture at each group? Heard JPM was sweaty but not sure if any change has occurred. Is EVR MP’s culture as good as it apparently is in NY?
Idk what you mean by EVR MP culture being as good as it is in NY. EVR NY Tech is THE worst culture group in EVR (with the caveat that EVR is slightly better than most banks in terms of culture).
Generally feels like MP is better than NY because I see NY Tech associates and VPs move over to MP pretty regularly (can think of 3 doing it in consecutive years). Deal flow wise, think it’s pretty equal and you’ll get worked either way. Feels like the two teams work together a lot, which seems like a better deal for west coast bankers vs east coast in terms of not having to stay up as late
Well, the JPM Tech team works with the M&A team...the M&A team handles the execution. I'm not sure what you mean by "I have heard they don't do much M&A out of SF." due to this team dynamic.
Makes sense was just under the impression that JPM SF did not own these models and focused more on equity and debt deals according to what alumni have said but perhaps that has changed. Is there a dedicated tech M&A run out of SF for JPM?
Yeah, you're right, just wanted to clarify the nuance. And yes, the tech team does not "own" the models. And I wouldn't consider it a dedicated tech M&A team, they also help with healthcare deals occasionally. I'd say by virtue of location and relationships, 80% of deals are tech. In terms of ranking, I'd probably say EVR MP Tech > JPM SF Tech
