Interested in these 3 for their NY offices and want to go to the buy-side after my analyst stint; obviously JPM has top 3 BB prestige (not GS/MS tho) but has group placement risk and a lower return offer rate, Greenhill isn't what it once was but still has solid MM/UMM/MF PE exits, and Ducera pays its analysts $200k+ but has the worst hours and exits generally limited to credit roles. Thoughts?

Choose JPM, if you don't like it or don't get the return offer you would have J.P. Morgan on your CV. Killer.
Choose greenhill
not OP, but at least in the CHI office all greenhill analysts exit to MF/UMM, exits are still top
Personally, I'd choose JP Morgan myself. The JP Morgan brand name is unmatched. Ducera and Greenhill are solid banks nonetheless.
Gonna go contrarian and say Greenhill. Solid culture, stable buyside placements (better than JPM on an average outcome basis), higher pay than JPM. Would eliminate Ducera as it is too limiting.
If you let WSO convince you to take Greenhill over JPM, you shouldn't have a JPM offer. Can't think of a single buy-side firm that hires from Greenhill and not JPM or in preference to them, whereas in any exit outside finance, JPM >>>>> Greenhill.
