Good deals bad placements
could you elaborate on the bad placements bit - do HH view them negatively? is the work not relevant for buyout exits?
They don't do any m&a
Anyone have additional thoughts on this team?
The top of tech is certainly GS/MS/Q but JPM is next in line.
they’re always on fantastic deals, M&A is solid (just completed $5bn buy side for Permira’s acquisition of Mimecast) and they’re on almost every major S-1 (especially software).
the group itself in SF is split between tech coverage and tech M&A, the latter supposedly has better exits.
overall agree with first comment about exits not being as great as you’d expect or relative to GS/MS/Q.
Being on an S1 doesn’t mean much if you arent lead left or Co lead tbh
JPM is good but don’t do tech if u have more options. They’re good in HC, FIG, M&A
Honestly disagree with a lot of the comments above. The tech M&A group has gotten some killer mandates and is definitely not "looked down upon" by HHs. A lot of buyside recruiting is based on personal preparedness and self-selection, and they have placed several to UMM/MF. OP, if you work at JPM SF you'll be fine, but ideally try to get into the M&A group. Other commenters are right in saying that the coverage group is weaker.
am analyst in coverage - working on sick sell-side mandate, but the M&A team owns the model, so fantastic experience so far with exposure to all other aspects of the process, but would have to study up on models if I wanted to go buyside
although admittedly behind GS/Q, would argue that the stats show JPM moving closer toward parity with MS over the last few years - and don't think anyone else has a better claim at 4th
This is biased, JPM is not on par with MS tech.
"moving closer to parity"
