Do you prefer lending (debt) or equity? Is the PGIM role on high yield debt, core , core plus? Regardless, I'd go with JPM. FOR ME, it’s no question. Idk about your preferences, what you are looking for.
Can’t go wrong at either shop. Both incredible places to start a career. Pru trains the street and JPM is, well, they’re JPM… Congrats and let us know where you land.
JPM doesn’t hire analysts for purely acquisitions so you may wanna flush that one out prior to deciding…
-Someone who works at JPM
Are you gonna give any details on either offer? Comp, expected bonus? Those would be pretty big deciding factors
Which job do you prefer? That's the one you should take.
What a stupid post
OP - PGIM came higher with salary by 15k and larger sign on bonus of 10k vs 5k.
Expect longer hours but larger bonus at JPM.
Job at JP is General Acquisitions.
Job at PGIM is Generalist. All asset class and capital sources.
Sounded like better Work life balance at PGIM.
Accepted PGIM.
I would not necessarily say JPM would be longer hours than PGIM. I knew people back in their NYC office when their lending platform was PMCC and hours were brutal. Not sure if anything has changed and sure it’s very office dependent.
That being said, both are incredible options for an Analyst to have and can’t go wrong with either.
This doesn’t seem right. I have a friend in nyc who is a first year making 100k base in a hybrid acq and am role.
OP is really saying PGIM pays 15k base higher than JPM at analyst level? What world is this kid living in? JP pays some of the highest junior bases in RE
JPMAM does not segregate their acquisitions and asset management teams in some of the regions. You'll likely be working in AM for ~two years before potentially transitioning to ACQ (which is not guaranteed at all). Lots of attrition and major outflows from JPMAM and a sizeable redemption queue from what I have heard. I would go PGIM and would not look back.
This is 100000% accurate. Whoever MS is pussy
Which pays more? Which interests you more? Which team/future boss did you vibe better with?
You know(obviously or not), you hit the nail on the head. While companies and prestige are great, working for good bosses is what makes or breaks your career. The companies I have left have been because of crap bosses. In both cases, they presented great, just didn't help my career.
