In retrospect, I would have avoided M&C and gone for M&A/FSG for exit ops if I had another shot at it. You will lose to GS/LionTree/Guggenheim TMT more often than not, unless its Disney or some large telecom every know and then, and that kills morale. Fun fact: one of the seniors was so mad about a transaction we lost during my tenure, he made me scope out the EB we lost it against, and rationalize how that could've happened. He could just not believe it. Exits are decent (a few MF/UMM) although you'd expect more from a top group at JPM. Work hard without the play hard culture. Its just a grind. Source: Was in the group.

W.r.t Tech, its good and up and coming, but lags to obvious GS/MS/Q/EBs. Also very small group and tends to be understaffed (during my tenure). Plus they never run the model. Would not recommend.

 

Thanks, super helpful. Could you provide more color on the hours and culture in M&C in comparison to other IBD groups at JPM? I heard hours aren't as much as M&A/HC and that the culture is relatively more social too but not sure if that's accurate

 

Thanks for the detailed take - could you PM me? Would be great to get your insight on some specific questions.
