Used to work in this group. High bar for good quality work - you'll get all the reps you need with more of an emphasis on m&a and equity deals vs debt. You'll easily work 80-100 hours a week, but I've heard both culture and comp has gotten better. Some exits to MF (KKR, TPG, Silverlake) and a lot of exits to UMM (TA, GA, etc), VC, and Tech. For you college students -- most of my class didn't want to go the MF route but the hardos who wanted it all got interviews.
Can attest, work in product group @ JPM with these guys a lot - still the few hardos/mismanagement that keep culture on edge but good team and good work. Pretty tight knit and do fun things like trips outings etc. Good deal flow and great exposure for a JPM coverage group (which for some other groups often times can be sidelined to administrative BS work)
mind if i pm?
how does it compare to ms menlo? jpm rising and ms falling?
curious what others think
MS Menlo still ahead for now
MS Menlo is still at least 1.5 tiers above JPM Tech in terms of deal flow and exits, but culture at MS Menlo is absolutely horrible.
got it, thanks. i've heard exits for jpm sf tech are pretty self-select (ppl wanting to go into vc/ge over mfpe). Any color on whether or not jpm tech prepares you adequately in terms of deal experience, etc.
They have been posting that for a while. Does anyone know what's up? I know they are interviewing, but it looks like they have been trying to fill or expand that class for a while.
Does anyone have insights on difference between sf m&a and tech? Is tech m&a a thing or completely separate?
Separate - M&A team works on both Tech and HC, but most deals is working with Tech coverage
got it - are there any noticeable differences in terms of pe exits? would you still get the modeling experience and all necessary skills at tech coverage?
One of my dawgs likes it over there
Super toxic lol don’t know why people are saying otherwise. Know people that have worked there and left in the past year. Super shitty culture pls don’t go…
Agreed - my pal, who's wicked smart and hardworking, got so burnt out there that he quit finance entirely and is now doing CorpDev in tech.
The culture there was some next-level low of humanity.
I know one person working there and let's just say with a sample of n=1, the culture looks toxic and evil lol.
elaborate?
Bad hours (no protected Saturdays) and they also fire analyst. Have a friend that worked there

JPM SF official protection is Fri 6pm to Sat noon. Not sure if this is the case for all JPM tho
curious as well
anyone know what bonus/general comp looks like?
bump - would also love to hear more insights
Confused why people in the thread think they’re adding. One of my buddies in the group told me recently they’re cutting hc.
generally good or bad thing?
