JPM M&A vs. GS FIG vs. MOE LA vs. CVP

Interested to see if someone can give some context to these groups in terms of prestige/exits, culture, and group size. Before we get some comment like: Come back when you an offer in hand. I am currently interning in one of these groups and have relatively senior connections/networks with the other 3, giving me a chance at laterally if I don't like my current group. Additionally, if I get more offers in August I lose a lot of anonymity by posting then. Generally, I don't want a career in fig but don't mind the space, which is why that's included vs the rest generalist. My goal is generalist PE but I know gs exits well so there's another reason it's up there.

Also anyone know if these JPM/GS recruit group specific for FT?

Generally if you’re a top bucket analyst at any of these groups any PE/HF should be open to you. The outcome at these groups is based on the calibre of the individual rather than the group itself. 

With that being said I’m sure east coast opportunities will be ever so slightly easier if you’re in a NYC office compared to being in a group like Moelis LA and vise versa.

i suggest you go with the one you best connect with and personally if I’m already a top group and enjoyed my internship experience I wouldn’t change groups for FT. Would really only try to make the switch to CVP if you’re more interested in being a career banker but if you’re already there its a great place to be at for exits too.

 

Thanks for the comment. I guess I worry about the changing cultures between my internship and the full time role. Because I assume the people one year above you in the hierarchy play into the experience a lot.
