sorry what kind of question is this
insights ofc duh you even said jpm tech exits aren’t the best
they’re super strong in the space and guaranteed buyside placement, likely wouldn’t have to re-recruit on cycle too
depends on comp and hours too, but you should know
Lmfao thanks for the advice
I'd go with JPM due to its brand name. The majority of this website is always buyside>sellside, but the truth is if you go to a good bank like JPM, insights or similar tier shops will be available to you. JPM tech exits depend on your ability not the bank It's up to you to convert Silverlake interview.
Would typically agree but who knows if in two years imma be washed for buyside recruiting 😂 appreciate the info tho
Is the Insight offer also in SF?
It’s in NYC 😎
lol you're nuts then if u take JPM
Here’s how I’d break it down
Insight
Pros:
1. Good brand name in software investing
2. Sourcing Experience
3. Network Building amongst founders
Cons:
1. All cold calling—must love this
2. Forced into growth because of low skill acquisition
3. Difficulty moving into top growth funds
JPM
Pros:
1. Good general brand name
2. Become good at “finance”
3. Stronger finance network
4. Potential to head to top growth funds (Spark, IVP, Bond) with higher fund size / IP (Insight is roughly 100M. Funds that are 1B / IP will prefer JPM experience)
Cons
1. Banking sucks
2. Hours suck
3. No sourcing (Can be pro or con)
4. Will need to do on cycle or off cycle
out of curiosity where did you get sourcing from? (is it nature of insights where analysts are in charge of doing deal sourcing)
from my experience/interviews these larger funds larger firms have a separate team that does the CRM tracking and maintaining relationships with sellside firm
genuinely asking, never spoken to anyone at insight
It’s well known that these growth shops use analysts as cold call sweat shop labor (GA/Insight/TA) bc you genuinely have 0 actual value-add / skills until you do something of more substance.
The sourcing isn’t inbound oftentimes it’s outbound as in me as an intern is creating a market map, finding all the companies in said market map and trying to call 20+ companies / day
Thanks for the info! Just curious where u got the 100M from — I thought insight was roughly 90B AUM?
It's last fund size--roughly 10B / 100 IP's. Bond for example had a last fund size of 2-3B and has 6 investors. Everyone from Bond is ex-banking (Mainly MS Menlo)
Hey, was hw if ur insight superday was in march? Not sure if they’ve continued them past february lol
DM me!
Insight's SA and analyst program is 100% cold calling / sourcing, no finance (unless you're in the buyout team). They have another team for diligence and ops.
super aware of this --- I personally have no issue with that lol. asking more from like a long-term, broader perspective. thanks for the info!
