Group placement takes place well after the offers explode...
Naturally. Do you at least know if it's IBD (M&As/IPOs, etc), Sales & Trading/Capital Markets, or Investment Management? Most summer analysts find that out ahead of time.
All IBD sorry
All things being equal, JPM is probably considered the strongest in IBD, followed very closely by Barcap. I work on the capital markets side of things, so I can't comment on the specifics in IBD, but in a lot of places in capital markets, you'll wind up working in a group that has something to do with one of your interviewers, even though you're not pre-placed. If people can confirm the trend in Capital Markets holds in IBD and you really liked one set of interviewers, it may not be an awful idea to base your decision off of which interviewers you think would be best to work for.
So JPM>Barcap>Baml?
In the US? Assuming an equal chance of you being in M&A, ECM or DCM, then I'd say: JPM, BaML, Barcap.
JPM being #1 is quite self explanatory, but the reason for BaML being ahead of Barcap is due to it being much stronger in ECM. AFAIK, in DCM Barcap is a bit head, whilst in M&A BaML is head.
Edit: This capital markets guy defers to the person who works in IBD.
Interviews all the same. Will not end up in ECM/DCM. so probably a coverage group or M&A. these offers are for NYC.
Easy:
JPM BarCap Baml
Honestly, just go with who you likes. No one is going to care about which one you pick, and all three of these places are doing just fine.
If this is for SA, one important factor to consider is the FT conversion rate for the above firms. I don't personally know what they are, but you should definitely find out.
JPM ALL DA WAY NO COMPARISON
