However, JPM IBD is probably a better option if you are unsure about staying in finance.
If you’re able to secure M&C over DI, could be worth esp since you’re not as interested in RE and the it can open doors for interesting roles. M&C at JPM is top 2 on the street. DI I have heard is insanely sweaty and has had many turnovers due to toxic culture
