JPM SMALL CAP or WF/JEF/RBC Coverage group

Just trying to add another perspective, the group is one thing and it’s important for sure for your day to day life and the next 2-3 years of your career. If you also want to consider the longer term (10+ year plus) aspects, the brand you have on your resume and the bank you work at early in your career does compound in terms of network, your thought process and how you approach banking/finance. It’s like your college / undergrad school choice. It matters and it doesn’t matter. In a sense people change but it is a formative time so if you also want to think about some long term aspects like alumni connection and future deal flow and broader market positioning for your professional career try to think about that too. Some people may prefer to just be a JPM person even if it means a tier 2/3 group. Some people may prefer Wells or RBC or Jeff. They do have different GTMs and personalities though it may seem like splitting hairs at this point. 

Hopefully you have gotten some sense from your interactions so far. Trust your gut with this and try to think about it you had to deal with the same kind of people for the next 10 years which ones you would prefer to deal with. Exit ops from these places are never too different from where you come from in that banks tend to have feeders go certain exit ops. Like the “Apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree”

Def important to heed advice from others above but just chiming in with this thought as well to try to aide your decision process. 


Good luck!
