I am a fresh graduate of a top target school and starting looking at FT in BBs in London (have already secured an offer in an EB but still looking at other options). I came across the EMEA M&A team of JP in London, how is this group? In terms of culture, prestige, for exits

The EMEA M&A team at JP Morgan in London is generally well-regarded, but there are some nuances to consider:
Prestige and Deal Flow:
Culture:
Exit Opportunities:
Comparison to EBs:
In summary, JP Morgan's EMEA M&A team is a strong choice, particularly if you're looking for a globally recognized brand and solid exit opportunities. However, if your primary focus is on PE/HF exits, you may want to weigh the advantages of your EB offer, as EBs often provide more tailored exposure and leaner teams, which can be beneficial for buyside recruiting.

Top team in terms of Public to Private stuff, work accross regions but extremely hard to land there. All white and limited spots.
Top tier M&A execution team behind Jefferies. But it’s all process work as sector teams primarily hold the pen on the model and of course marketing materials. Dwayne Lysaght and Alex Bruce are good
Jefferies is well behind
I interviewed here a while back so can chime in -- the M&A team is actually split into a couple verticals (if I remember correctly private capital / minority investments, public M&A, UK M&A and I might be missing one more).
They are obviously top tier as supported by great industry groups. Feel like culture varied, some of the juniors were super nice but got dinged at ED level from a guy who was extremely stuck up and asked technical questions which were way out of scope (nothing you would ever come across in IB).
Top tier group within the firm but very competitive and extremely hard to land there
All process work. No modeling as it is done within coverage
