JPM updated prestige/exit opps
Couldn’t find an up to date thread on this
Seems to me like they’ve been crushing it since the financial crisis, but I’m wondering how this has been reflected in terms of the firm’s prestige and exit opps as of 2018

Spoke with a friend who is a very successful VP at a PE mega fund. He works with JPM a lot and says the people he works with are quality and it’s as good a place as any to get recruited into a MF.
It's very solid. If you do a little LinkedIn research, you'll see that pretty much all groups are good enough to get looks. Plenty of solid MM PE exits across almost every group. Reasonably consistent MF PE exits are really only M&A, FIG, and Healthcare (this perspective comes from JPM people that I've actually talked to, not just LinkedIn). There are a couple MF placements from other groups that are obvious rockstars.
This forum generally seems to regard it a bit lower than GS and MS though... Does this still stand?
To answer your question, from an analyst perspective, MS/GS are still viewed as a cut above from what I can gather. I’d say GS and MS are still markedly more selective than JPM - profiles of those going to the first 2 tend to be a little stronger GPA/experience-wise than JPM. Better prior internships, better GPAs as a whole. And nobody I know ever chose JPM over GS/MS.
Second, exit opps are still stronger as a whole at GS/MS. Every group at those 2 will place better than its direct counterpart at JPM, e.g. MS M&A does better than JPM M&A, and all the coverage groups do better than coverage groups at JPM besides maybe HC. At GS/MS you can’t really get placed in DCM/ECM either, while you can at JPM. And stronger alumni network on the buy side.
All that said, JPM is a great firm, and this is only relevant if you have offers from both. As long as you’re in one of the top few groups, I’m guessing you’ll get the same opportunities as analysts at GS/MS.
I think this is a great post, but I will say that JP Healthcare is considered the best HC group, and I know a couple of people who have turned down other top banks (GS/MS included) when guaranteed that group.
I actually know someone who picked JPM Tech SF over GS NYC (which was not a group specific offer). But I believe this person had a really strong preference for tech banking.

JPM is about on par with Nomura.
JP Morgan PE Exit Opportunities? Anyone have specifics? (Originally Posted: 03/11/2010)
Any speculation as to PE exits from IBD at JPM for the next few years?
Will it look more like GS / MS? Or stay true to previous years? Seems the recruiting might shift due to decrease in banking classes, if PE returns in the next two years, because top tier firms will have shrunken their analyst classes, ie. pipelines for PE.
Also, what are some specific examples of firms JPM places into? (ie. GS places into KKR / Carlyle)
If you can get into their LevFin. group, you can smoke those fuck tards straight of the water.
Does JPM's LevFin group actually place well? I've heard very mixed things from people who have worked in the group. That said, the people I knew did not leave on their own terms, so ofcourse they might be biased.

JP's Lev Fin PE placement is not as strong as one would think based on their strong dealflow the past few quarters, I think they sit with DCM and their work is less sponsors related. JP Sponsors on the other hand is a phenomenal group.
their m&a group's prob your best shot at getting into pe - sponsors is more relational

Know from speaking with a director in their healthcare group that they place extremely well in the mid-upper MM range as well as a few guys going to MFs in recent years. Also they do their own modeling. Know nothing about other groups.
Also interested in this
Top groups for placement are M&A, Healthcare, FIG TMT, Industrials, Sponsors do well too. Can talk more in PM

Just messaged you.
What is MF mentioned?
HC has sent several to Carlyle/Warburg recently
JP Morgan Chase Retail ExitOpps (Originally Posted: 04/27/2011)
I have an interview coming up with JP Morgan Chase in NJ. Title is Financial Analyst.
This is the retail side of course, but the job description is as follows:
This position supports the Home Lending's Capital Markets. Capital Market's is responsible for the mortgage pricing, registration, hedging/trading, delivery and valuation activities of Home Lending.
This role will focus on various aspects of the planning, forecasting and analysis of the Mortgage and Home Equity Portfolios.
Would a position like this be worth going in on the retail side? Is it possible to make a move to the IB-side (research/maybe trade support) after this?
The only other offer I have is for regulation with FINRA. Deciding if this is worth it to consider.
I work for JPM, PM if you want to chat...peace
If those are really your only two options, then take it. But it's really not all that relevant for IB - you'd have to rely on hardcore networking to make the jump.
Going from Chase Retail to JP Morgan is an incredibly hard endeavor, especially IB. Everyone in retail wants to be at JP Morgan...
Most renown/prestigious group of JPMorgan IB Risk (Originally Posted: 04/02/2013)
Hi,
I just want to know if anybody has any literature or informed opinions about what the most prestigious and well-known group in JPMorgan's IB Risk program was. I'm thinking of applying in the future and would love to hear some insight.
Thanks.
JackedCity try to get an interview first!
I'm all for Risk, but others here aren't going to be so kind...
get ready for "IB Risk and prestige are not to be put in the same sentence"-esqe responses.
Haha fair. Whatever man I long accepted my Resume is probably not good enough to get into the "prestigious" groups of these banks. I'm happy just to start in a group like Risk.
