Would love to hear y'all's perspective on whether you would rather work at JPM in FIG or Natural Resources in New York or in M&A in Chicago/ San Francisco.
How would you folks go about making the decision?

is this intern, analyst, associate, or senior? think the considerations change alot then
Associate!
i think asso is the level where personal preferences, location, and family start to come into play especially if this is as a MBA asso(?). do you want to live in chicago/SF or ny? are you looking to stay long term in banking or move out after a couple of years? m&a would keep you broader in exits while FIG or natres at the associate level could pigeonhole you.
If all you care about is pure learning experience, i would take FIG=SF M&A>chicago M&a. sf m&a is top class but would argue fig's dealflow is pretty similar to HC in which it's a very sweaty but top notch group.
SF is primarily tech & HC so that's what you'll be doing even from the m&a group. fig runs all of its own modeling and jpm has pretty solidly put themselves as a top 2 fig group with improving culture. there is a separate placement process for fig vertical that you would have to go through though, do you know which vertical?
can't rlly comment on natres as dont know the most abt it but it isn't known as top group.
