Can't speak about culture but for exit definitely JPM. Group matter less that prestige plus FiG guys are particularly appreciated by HF (at least in Europe)

"Prospect in consulting"
Lmao I agree. Some 19yo who just figured out what MBB is (but will work for KPMG risk consulting) reckons JPM has better prestige (on account of not being that familiar with Moelis). Right!
Fuck Europe
But yeah if youre in Europe, BBs are more dominant. In the US, Id pick an EB
Can’t go wrong with either (I imagine both are sweaty) but personally I would take Moelis but I don’t just find fig interesting but if that’s your thing go for it
Thanks ya I don't mind FIG but definitely not my fav thing in the world
If you’re not that into fig I would say Moelis. Fig is a pretty niche thing to cover and if you don’t really enjoy it I don’t see the point. The only reason you would do it is for the JPM brand name on your resume but personally not a reason I would take a job
Moelis no doubt. Top tier exits, decent culture (assuming you are OK with working hard...)
JPM 100% u dk if u gonna stay in fin-ance forever
Let's assume I will
Moelis
If you went to a target, you'll have the brand recognition to pivot to any other industry anyways.

Moelis easily, especially if its in the LA office
NY OFfice
