GS IBD Summer vs JPM IBD FT
Hi folks!
I am a final year student (master) at a European non-UK top uni. I have some PE (small fund) and IB (European BB) experience.
My goal would be to follow the classic path IB + PE (classic buyout)
I have been offered the following 2 positions for next year:
- GS summer analyst position (IBD) in London: not sure about the team, all I know is that I'll do rotation in classic advisory and financing groups. Very confident about the full time offer but prefer to avoid ECM/DCM for exit opps (don't know what the probability is to be assigned to those groups if I don't put them in my preferences)
- JPM full-time analyst (IBD) in London: consumer team
So my question is: which one should I pick to maximize my PE exit chances?
To me these are the pros and cons:
- GS: brand name (very very very much attracted to it), better timing for my University calendar / not sure about the offer, risk to land an offer in a financing Group or non-PE friendly advisory groups (RE, FIG, NatRes)
- JPM: no risk of full time conversion, top group I would say / brand maybe less prestigious
On top, I would like to have a comment from you on PE exit opps from team like FIG, NatRes or LevFin at GS.
Thank you so much!!!!
Im from the US, but im curious, in Europe is the GS brand that much better than JPM? Ik EBs in Europe are pretty shit compared to BBs.
Also, it’s a bit weird youre comparing an internship to a full time job. If you do the internship, what will you do for a year before you start working FT?
GS name is better but not extremely better - it is just me that I am really attracted by the firm
I would go for an early start at GS (January), from sept to Jan I would take care of my master thesis (more time to dedicate to it and better chance to get a better graduation grade)
