JPMorgan Asset Management or PGIM Real Estate
Received two offers for an internship for both of these roles both in NYC,CHI, LA. I would be on the AM (equity) side. I know they mostly do core stuff. Which one would provide the best career opportunities long term? Which is seen more favorably by recruiters?
These are both two well known, high-quality household name firms. If this is just an internship, I would probably go with whichever seems to have be best chance of return offer. Personally, I would go with PGIM, excellent leader in the institutional real estate world, true pioneer in the industry. I don't really think as much about the big banks, but that is really a personal feeling.
JP will have higher pay and same exit ops. See no reason not to take it esp if PGIM ends up being in their NJ office.

JPM. Think most analysts do AM and acquisitions now. Even if that’s changed, there’s a path from AM to acq. It’s a better and more recognized brand name to recruiters hands down. You’ll get looks from PE/HF recruiters. Good spot for a career but they’ve had people leave for top firms too. KKR, northwood, oaktree, Carlyle, Starwood. Also, if you change your mind and don’t want RE, JPM is a huge place. Lots of other roles you can pivot into.
Bump
Flip a coin.
If this is JPM in NYC and PGIM in NJ, then base your decision off location. Saying you work at “JPM” will give you more overall prestige but both are the top of the barrel.
JPM all day every day twice a day. stache is king hit the nail on the head. PGIM exit opps not as strong as you'd think
