Best Response

Congratulations on both offers! You must be the envy of many people. Both are great offers, but I think GS healthcare for several reasons:

1) You'll be worked hard by both groups, but GS Healthcare has a better brand reputation amongst headhunters.

2) JPM's industry groups do a ton of their own execution, so the M&A experience at GS healthcare might actually be stronger. JPM is a much larger institution and therefore by sheer volume does well on the league tables. GS holds the top spot in M&A while having a much smaller IB division - that's impressive.

3) A lot of deals go to JPM because of the financing relationship, so the M&A advisory might come second. Clients never go to GS because of financing, it's always for their advisory.

4) I think to be able to get to know both industry and products while having an M&A focus is pretty cool. I myself am at another BB M&A group, but I do think the GS model without having designated M&A analysts in the group (BarCap) provides the best experience

However, this is of course my subjective opinion from my observations. You really can't go wrong with either at the end of the day.
