FIG vs Tech JPM

I'm attracted to FIG because of their fintech arm and heard they do in-house modeling so sI will get some sort of technical experience which is something I want to have.  

I'm attracted to tech because I am interested in the industry in general, so would want to be in something/industry I would like to cover.

Idk wtf to do or which one to go for.

would exit opps be similar, if i go to fig or tech, not sure what i want to exit to yet but I want to have options

 

Would recommend going for Tech:

1) Culture is way better. A lot of recent posts have shone lights on FIG's culture

2) If your interest in FinTech (very broad term) lies within payments, names like SQ, PYPL / buy-now-pay-later (pretty much the more interesting / up and coming side of FinTech), they are covered out of tech team

 

Thanks for the insight! and yes I would say that's where my interest lies. So I was wondering what is the difference is between the FTWAM team vs Fintech at the Tech team. I was told that the FTWAM team deals with crypto, payments, and BYPL as well. 

 

FTWAM is mostly asset/wealth managers, more recently added crypto (think crypto might be covered mostly in FIG), but payments is mostly Tech and BNPL I want to say is mostly Tech at this point as well (additionally, GS/MS has better relationship with those names since Chase is so big in consumer unsecured credit so they don't do a ton of work on BNPL).
