I'm assuming these are generalist NYC offers? If you're concerned about group placement, see if you can leverage your GS offer with JPM HR and secure a group-specific offer at JPM (JPM HC, M&A, whatever group interests you).

Otherwise, the main difference is that GS coverage groups do M&A in-house, whereas JPM has a specific M&A product group.

rookie mistake - only bottom feeding cucks and back office handytards actually choose which offer to take. Real future rainmakers make the banks decide for them.

Call up the most senior person you interviewed with at both firms and invite them to meet for coffee without telling them the other person will be in attendance. When they both arrive, you require them to fight over the right to take you SA banking virginity. If the offers really are for the same groups as you previously stated, the bankers will be sure to know each other already which should make for an even more riveting fight - they will be sure to already know each other weaknesses.

 

Pick Goldman- I went to there NYC offices for a recruitment event and they're amazing- they also said the main difference between them and JPM was that JPM is big and they don't focus on individual growth as much as Goldman- also did I mention the building is really nice?
