I recently received an offer at a MM bank in Chicago (HL, WB, Jeffries) but I want to pursue a full-time role at a BB's M&A group with JPM being my top choice (shocking, I know). With that being said, I only see opportunities available at the mid-cap level and the FIG group. Which one should I pursue more to have a better shot of lateraling into the M&A group at a big bank?

What makes you say only opps available in fig and mid cap?
the website having only opps available in fid and mid cap as well as from the emails I've sent out, those two have been the only that actually hold a phone call instead of just saying we aren't recruiting at this time.
the website opps are experienced analysts not new grad. the actually fulltime 2026 app had most groups on preference sheet. in any case idk what you're looking at but there are opps in many groups on the site.
I tried looking for them, but I disregarded those that weren't posted this summer. Are those the ones you are talking about?
