Hi fellow monkeys, I have calls set up with some alumni from my semi target at each of these banks.
ive read in other threads that all 3 have great deal flow, top groups, and consistently send people to UMM/MF.
is this true? What is everyone’s opinion and which banks I should focus my time on?
thank you!

Damn you got the whole squad laughing. So cringe
I’ll bite, assuming this isn’t a troll.
If you had offers from these three, it would come to picking from GS/MS. GS/MS have consistent MF exits, while JEF does not. But, if we get into the nitty gritty, JEF does have certain groups that place very well (HC, M&A, LevFin, Tech). Would only say that JEF LevFin and HC can compare to their counterparts at GS/MS, whereas pretty much every other group at JEF does not.
Now, this being said- if you want lean deal teams and more responsibility, then JEF is still a great bank for you. just because it doesn’t directly compare to the GS/MS doesn’t mean it isn’t a good place. If you work hard and get good bucket/reps, you have a shot at placing UMM/MF from JEF. But it will be much harder than GS/MS.
Thank you, this is helpful. I’m not really concerned with prestige and am not opposed to A2A. Do you think choosing a “weaker” platform is a risk or a positive due to growth potential
This has to be a joke
Think you're getting too ahead of yourself
congrats on your networking calls bro
