Should JPM be considered a top BB?

Recently left a top RX shop for PE and most if not all analysts in my class ended up in reputable MF or distressed hedge fund as well. Going through the profiles of the new associate class at my MF and friends’ MF, I was surprised to find 80% of the associates from GS, MS, Evercore, and PJT. The rest of 20% come from JPM, CS, BofA, Barclays, Moelis etc. JPM does not place better or worse than many of the “lesser banks” that people call on this forum.

Thanks for the info, I will 100% be turning down any offer from JPM based on these numbers.

 

Because this site is full of interns like you with zero actual work experience

 

Oh no. I’m sorry I will delete my account instantly. Please forgive me for being an intern.

 

Referring to the associate class at Apollo, KKR, and TPG. Can also be verified from LinkedIn. No hurt feelings, just wanna share some data points
