Capital One FRP vs JP GFBM
Hey everyone!
I got an offer for both programs and am unsure what to pick. My deadline is coming up, and I could use your input on what you would do in this situation.
C1 pays more and has a better work life, but it is far from home (McLean, VA). JP is in NYC (where I am) and has a better name, but I’ll be working crazy and getting paid less. Both programs are interesting to me, and I would consider them back office. I want to go to an MBA program after a few years of working.
I could use some input in this situation and what you would do.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you for your input! I appreciate it!
I nearly accepted an offer for the Capital One FRP and I'm still connected with a friend that has gone through the program. While I can't speak for the JPM GFBM, the Capital One FRP opens up a lot of doors for you in terms of technical skills. Within my first rotation, I would have had the chance to learn SQL, Tableau, and Python on top of Excel. If you want to broaden your technical skills, I would say Capital One is the way to go as it is a lot more tech-focused than JPM.
The culture at Capital One is also quite good. Most people log off and head home around 5, and this culture is supported by managers. Everyone is very supportive of your learning and development, and it really shows with everyone you talk to.
I'd say to choose the Capital One FRP unless you really want to stay in NYC. Everyone knows what Capital One is outside of finance just like JPM so I wouldn't go to JPM just for the "prestige". The JPM GFBM will no doubt still open up a lot of doors for you. Best of luck!
Thank you for your input! I appreciate it!
Cap1 is essentially a tech company in the banking space. Has a great reputation. The FRP program will give you a leg up in advancement within Cap1 (which is an exit for many people) and/or a great name on your resume for MBA admissions. JPM is banking in many forms. What do you want to do long term? Cap1, in addition to helping with the MBA (JPM will as well), could bring more optionality post MBA across many industries.
If you use the MBA as a reset and pre MBA as a way to get to MBA, neither will have an advantage over the other. They're both great. I would choose which culture you feel aligns best with you and helps you thrive.
Thank you for your input! I appreciate it!
