Asking for friend with inactive WSO account and I was also curious: Hi all,I'm a diversity candidate recruiting from a semi-target, and I just finished the process.I'm currently deciding between JPM NY and PWP NY, not as interested in RBC or WF. I've read through multiple threads on WSO and spoken to several upperclassmen/ mentors as well.I'm really torn on what to do.

Take JPM if you like the BB experience, take PWP if you like the more generalist exposure and more technical experience. On average, if you work hard you’d have similar exits. Consider what you want to work on, and who you want to work with.
Congrats, can’t go wrong!
Unless you want to be a career banker, I’d lean JPM. The top BB brand is tough to beat, and I don’t think the marginal comp difference is worth it.
I 100% agree on brand, but why do so many global heads and MDs move from BB like JPM to work at PWP/other advisory firms. Pure comp
Yeah that makes sense, they built up their brand and reputation as a BB junior and then chase $$ as an EB senior when the pay difference in base and bonus b/w MDs can vary much more than the pay b/w analysts
Agree with the above. I think between JPM/PWP it’s more of a question if BB vs EB than anything (both are similar quality firms). Congrats!
RBC for exits
Personally would go with JPM
Where’s Tobin and co?
