tough because JPM has way more analysts. I’d probably roll with PWP
Why PWP? Genuinely curious. Choosing between them and a top BB. Exits matter a lot for me and it doesn't seem PWP places well at any of the top MF/UMM.
Quite a few people stay A2A because of pay and culture
I agree, haven’t seen a lot of MF exits from PWP
The option always is there for any EB for PEMF. For smaller EBs like PWP/CVP they try to retain the analysts with huge salaries, some people don’t wanna do a MF, and with class sizes of only about 20 it’s hard to find on LinkedIn and isn’t appropriate to compare to a BB.
Option always exists, pay and culture are better, I’d ride EB all day. Although Moelis is brutual!
From a really quick LinkedIn search, I see Brookfield, Carlyle, EQT, Apollo, GTCR for class of ‘21.
Also, from my understanding they have placed at every single MF in recent years. CVP as well.
Literally any reputable independent (PWP) over JPM lol. Hands down 100% better experience to talk about and showcase in PE interviews. Also, big pay difference helps with a nice culture. Any of these great firms are gonna place you well if you work hard.
Lots of people make this choice and don’t regret it.
Your entire post history is about PWP, relax HR

can you elaborate?
Definitely JPM if you can land M&A / HC. Literally everyone who wants a MF offer in those groups get one. Plus you will get the JPM brand name
can you get into a MF if you are in at industrial/tech at JPM
Yes but not as easy as HC / M&A. As above poster said, almost literally everyone who wants MF / top UMM and preps for recruiting gets it.
Will get interviews anywhere you want (just comes down to converting it into an offer, which at that point your bank / group doesn't matter much).
Literally not true. Have close contacts at JPM M&A and HC and many analysts didn't land MF offer in last or this year's on cycle.
Know for a fact that both groups sent over half of its analysts to MF this cycle. The rest really comes down to the individual. Not everyone wants a MF in those groups and many recruited specially for MM or even hedge fund
More PWP shilling. Headhunters look to GS/JPM/MS coverage before anyone else - it's just logical
Go to JPM
You literally openly work at PWP and your entire post history is PWP. I don't even need to check because I recognize your name you shill LOL
