JPM updated prestige/exit opps

Question

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.

This forum generally seems to regard it a bit lower than GS and MS though... Does this still stand?

JP Morgan PE Exit Opportunities? Anyone have specifics? (Originally Posted: 03/11/2010)

Any speculation as to PE exits from IBD at JPM for the next few years?

Will it look more like GS / MS? Or stay true to previous years? 
Seems the recruiting might shift due to decrease in banking classes, if PE returns in the next two years, because top tier firms will have shrunken their analyst classes, ie. pipelines for PE.

Also, what are some specific examples of firms JPM places into? (ie. GS places into KKR / Carlyle)
