JPM/GS or Solomon Partners
Hypothetical (I’m just curious)
Would you rather do S&T at JPM/GS or IB at a firm with a reputation similar to Solomon Partners/FT Partners. Where’s like the cutoff point?

Career Resources
Probably not, but would take a top MM over S&T (Assuming I originally wanted to do IB, not S&T)
You’ve just listed two separate careers. Which one do you want to do? Do you want to stay in IB/S&T or exit after a few years?
If you’re looking to exit to traditional buyside roles like PE, experience in IB will be much more applicable. Others correct me if I’m wrong, but IB pretty much always offers much more in terms of exit opps, where in S&T exiting to anything in capital markets less than trading isn’t very ideal. If you want to go into corp dev or exit finance, BB is the way to go for name brand/prestige. Not really sure where the “cutoff” is here but voicing the same as above, would personally take a solid MM IB over S&T at those firms. Might consider pivoting if only IB offer I received was a no-name regional boutique or smth
What are you talking about? You don't do any "trading" in Capital Markets, Capital Markets is investment banking (financing/product). Do you mean global Markets?
I’ve failed to recruit IB for the most part. Have a few leads left at like 1 or 2 MM, but it isn’t looking good.
I also have some decent leads at 2 BB banks for S&T.
Still far from an offer, but was just curious. Appreciate the insight guys.
All depends on career path. With IB you can go to PE/HF/industry. Options are broad. With S&T, there is a lot less attrition and more focus on staying on. Exits can be to trading roles / execution roles at funds but are certainly more limited given the narrower scope of work
