M&A group at BB firms (MS vs. JPM vs. Citi vs. BofA)
Can anyone shed some light into how the M&A groups at bulge brackets differ from one another in terms of:
-
culture
-
hours
-
deal flow / learning opportunities
-
exit opportunities
Especially for MS, JPM, Citi, BofA. Understood that some banks have their M&A done in-house within coverage groups so not asking about those.
Based on the highest ranked content on WSO, let's dive into the M&A groups at MS, JPM, Citi, and BofA, focusing on culture, hours, deal flow/learning opportunities, and exit opportunities. Keep in mind, the landscape in investment banking can be quite dynamic, but here's a general overview:
Culture
Hours
Deal Flow / Learning Opportunities
Exit Opportunities
Remember, these are general trends based on the WSO dataset and discussions. Individual experiences can vary significantly based on the group, the deals you work on, and the network you build.

MS M&A has top exits, extremely bad hours, strong deal flow, and unsure of culture (would assume its bad based on hours)
