Hi all,
New to the site and wanted some opinions on whether to take IBD at JPM for a summer analyst position or Evercore for the same position. Can anyone speak comparatively regarding culture, hours, pay, exit opps, personal development and deal flow for the London office?
Thanks in advance!

You can't compare the two except similar hours.
Evercore is still finding its feet in London. Go with JPM.
Hey,
Do you think this could make the case for being able to carve out a position at a rapidly growing firm?
Yes, but you should decide if that's what you want compared to the more established rep of a BB. Also consider that since JPM is larger and his been active longer there will be a larger network of ex-JPM analysts that you can reach out to at PE funds and the like.
JPM>EVR by far imo. The only things Evercore does better than JP is pay (as any boutique) and the small tight-knitted teams. Met some really cool guys at both.
Hey all,
Thanks for getting back to me. Anyone know exactly how exit opps stack up?
JPM>EVR. JPM has usually a better brand name, some funds only hire from GS/MS/JPM therefore you'd be in a top spot to be at JPM.
A Partner at a large European PE firm told me that boutiques are for career bankers where are BBs are for exits opps.
Thanks for this. I was under the impression that EB's offered exit opps on par with, if not better than the GS/MS/JPM. Thanks for the insight!
