OP here: follow up Q, would JPM FIG be a good enough move to jump for FT
I've personally seen many analysts exit to MM / UMM PE funds at my BB's FIG group. I wouldn't know how the specifics of the job translate to PE as I'm in a different coverage group, but I will say that FIG guys aren't just stuck working with banks/insurance. They cover other verticals like BDCs and SPACs which are hot right now, and Fintech which is an ebitda business that translates well to growth equity.
