Also curious how people would rank JPM HC NY vs. Non-NY EB office (M&A)
Uhh.. I'd personally pick MOE / HL LA over JPM HC NY any day...
Can I ask why? Maybe because you like LA/west coast better?
Depends on how much you like HC vs the other regional industry focus. Hard to answer since it really comes down to personal preference. JPM HC is the top HC group but extremely sweaty.
JPM HC is insanely sweaty
If you're not into HC, Moelis.
If you are, a no-brainer. It's the best BB HC group.
Don’t think it’s so clear cut. They used to be, but I believe they lost some people to boutiques. It’s really a toss up between GS/MS/JPM.
Going more so on the amount of deal flow they get. Their #1 last I checked. Do agree with other poster, a lot of debt/equity work at HC groups (especially at any BB honestly).
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.
Thanks for the comment. How about JPM M&A vs MoCo?
