Looking at both of the above for SA IBD/Global Advisory in London, any advice on how they compare in terms of culture, deal exposure, sweatiness, pay, progression, exit ops, etc etc?
JPM obviously a top BB and Roth probably top boutique. Both came across well in the processes and haven’t networked with many from either, kind of undecided. Is the prestige/benefit of being at an advisory-only firm justified? Cheers.

Both are sweatshops, might as well go for JPM for the bigger deals and better exit opps
is there even anywhere in LDN with good deal flow that’s not a sweatshop though?
Sweatiness and dealflow are inversely correlated, but among the London BBs JPM really has the reputation of being miserably sweaty
There's really no justification to take Roths here - unless you despise Canary Wharf, or want to make some bar girl think you're part of the illuminati.
Good a reason as any
Jpm for large cap deals
JPM.
I heard culture at jpm is very good tho. Can anyone confirm which teams?
