JPM updated prestige/exit opps

Couldn’t find an up to date thread on this

Seems to me like they’ve been crushing it since the financial crisis, but I’m wondering how this has been reflected in terms of the firm’s prestige and exit opps as of 2018

It's very solid. If you do a little LinkedIn research, you'll see that pretty much all groups are good enough to get looks. Plenty of solid MM PE exits across almost every group. Reasonably consistent MF PE exits are really only M&A, FIG, and Healthcare (this perspective comes from JPM people that I've actually talked to, not just LinkedIn). There are a couple MF placements from other groups that are obvious rockstars.

 

To answer your question, from an analyst perspective, MS/GS are still viewed as a cut above from what I can gather. I’d say GS and MS are still markedly more selective than JPM - profiles of those going to the first 2 tend to be a little stronger GPA/experience-wise than JPM. Better prior internships, better GPAs as a whole. And nobody I know ever chose JPM over GS/MS.

Second, exit opps are still stronger as a whole at GS/MS. Every group at those 2 will place better than its direct counterpart at JPM, e.g. MS M&A does better than JPM M&A, and all the coverage groups do better than coverage groups at JPM besides maybe HC. At GS/MS you can’t really get placed in DCM/ECM either, while you can at JPM. And stronger alumni network on the buy side.

All that said, JPM is a great firm, and this is only relevant if you have offers from both. As long as you’re in one of the top few groups, I’m guessing you’ll get the same opportunities as analysts at GS/MS.

 

I think this is a great post, but I will say that JP Healthcare is considered the best HC group, and I know a couple of people who have turned down other top banks (GS/MS included) when guaranteed that group.

 

If you can get into their LevFin. group, you can smoke those fuck tards straight of the water.

Does JPM's LevFin group actually place well? I've heard very mixed things from people who have worked in the group. That said, the people I knew did not leave on their own terms, so ofcourse they might be biased.

 

Haha fair. Whatever man I long accepted my Resume is probably not good enough to get into the "prestigious" groups of these banks. I'm happy just to start in a group like Risk.
