JPM HC vs Moelis NY

What's better for PE exit and what would you choose to join and why?Targets Middle-market PE in major cities after couple years.

Edit: Does not love/hate healthcare. I’m intellectually curious about many things. I’m approaching this purely in terms of exit opps.

JPM HC is pretty sweaty from what I hear. It’s one of the better groups at JPM. They lost some senior bankers, but it’s still one of the better HC groups on the street. The group has significantly more juniors than other HC groups though, so not sure if WLB has improved. 

I would probably go with MoCo given what you want to exit to. JPM does a lot of debt/equity, which is probably the most mind numbing work you can do as a junior banker.  MoCo will probably provide you with far more interesting engagements and meaningful work. Not sure if it’s still the case, but Moelis used to be generalist across verticals and M&A/RX, which is pretty cool. Moelis will also pay you a lot more and the hours might even be better than working in a HC group. However, if you want to exit to anything outside of PE, JPM will carry far more weight.
