JP Morgan Investment Banking v. Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management v. Goldman Credit Research

Hi, so I am graduating and choosing between JPM IBD, Goldman PWM, and Goldman Credit Research thoughts? In terms of exit opportunities, name brand (is the JPM brand really that different from the Goldman brand??), and possibly compensations?

Congrats on the offer mate! Well done.

What's wrong with research?

I'd take GS Credit Research.

They're all completely different. How do you get these offers when you can't even make the distinctions?

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
 

JPM IBD, but that's just my opinion. What do you want to do long-term? What are you most interested in?

I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards, and broken things
