GS FIG vs JPM FIG
I know these two are neck and neck in competition for deals -- I think JPM actually has recently topped GS on the league tables. Which group is doing best?

Genuinely nobody cares it’s FIG have fun exiting to McDonald’s
JPM FIG honestly is doing better at this point. All that's left of GS FIG is their legacy (+ it is filled with Asian beckies for some reason)
Exits wise, you'll be fine from both
ngl at the MBA level they only have Asian beckies lol
what lol?
What is an Asian Beckie ?
a becky that is Asian
GS fig exits anywhere tho somehow lol
Disregarding exits (I think PE is a little scary to enter at the moment), do you still suggest FIG? Or is M&A / another cov or prod group better
GS FIG is probably the worst IBD group, up there with Industrials. Historically the exits were great but nowadays you can get similar exits from other good-strong IBD groups. Also, the verticals are beyond boring, even the "cool" fintech deals will be done out of the TMT group in NYC/SF
Do you think it’s worth going into FIG in general?
Can't speak to GS but JPM FIG has some genuine creeps / psycopaths so be careful
How does MS FIG compare nowadays
