Looking at large PE firm bios, not much representation from JPM despite them having the largest analyst classes...am I missing something or do they not have much traction for PE recruiting?
I would think that if they don't recruit well for MF, there would be a greater amount in large MM's but it just appears like JPM analysts do not often exit to PE.

not enough alumni
The bank also places more emphasis on retaining their analysts, instead of spitting them out after 2 / 3 years. The culture there is also slightly better with respect to work life / balance
Really? The analysts I know there think the place is a sweatshop.
Then, should going from JPM to PE be a problem??
Clarification - not just any PE but MF or large MM PE
Yeah, totally underrepresented, it has placed 4 dudes in KKR vs 40 for GS and 25 for MS.
JPM dudes are less smart.

First off JPM not = work life balance.
Second, historically they haven't placed as well as a few of the top groups, but I've noticed the JPM placement on the rise. M&A in particular.
Because PE recruiting is also based off historical network and reputation. There were posts in 2006/2007 comparing JPM to Wachovia.
Historically, it has never had the same IBD reputation as pre-2008 GS, MS, Merrill, Lehman, etc.
DELETED
JPM now has top three placement on the street, along with GS and MS.
Out of 100 opps across the three banks, GS probably fills 40 of that, and remainder goes to JPM and MS.
GS still holds top market share.
People at JPM do fine.
all else equal, a student will take an offer at GS/MS before one at JPM. headhunters know and understand this and GS/MS analysts get the most and highest quality opps. some candidates at JPM (namely those in product groups) will get just as elite opps but the fact is there are fewer good candidates to begin with.
