Huntington DCM or JPM C&SI

Title - I am a junior and not sure what offer to take. JPM is in Chicago, and Huntington is in Cbus. I have always wanted to be in IB but honestly didn't have the alumni network or school name or honestly networking ability to make it happen, so I came away w these 2 offers and not sure what to take.

i feel like for corporate banking roles yea but not gonna get much luck with pure IB if thats ur goal.

 

both are good offers but i wouldnt bank too much on FT recruitment because from what its been in the past few years it has been extremely difficult. might get hate for saying this but if im being totally honest , if i was in ur shoes i would take jpm because im pretty sure the base in the group is same as IB.

 

base isn’t the same as IBD - $80k An1, bumpy to $82.5k An2. An1 sign on bonus is 10k, An2 bonus is ~8% of base (top buck)

interned at JPM this past summer in that group. it’s pure commercial, but you get JPM brand name. Would take Huntington over JPM, more direct experience with IB

 

Huntington looking to build out DCM team, just recently brought in a few new hires. Will be in building mode for the foreseeable future but as always with DCM it’s a balance sheet game and if you pay to play you have a chance to be semi-relevant
