JPM has higher ranking in league table in EMEA, but Citi has higher in APAC....so if u ever wanna come back Citi is okay in terms of deal flow, etc.....
and it also highly depends on the team u r getting into. Lev Fin/FSG team has rlly good exit opts in JPM, while Citi put a lot of effort on their industry teams....
I'm not sure if this applies to all the banks... for generally, it's better to start in a coverage group... PE can always come later if you perform well...
For TMT, GS is the place to be. Maybe that was just for US though.

I heard in coverage group, you do a lot of pitching while in M&A product group or LevFin, you gain solid excel modelling skills instead of powerpoint pitching.
However, Citi integrated its M&A team into coverage group and I'm not sure how this model works.

not the expert of Europe...sorry cant help...maybe check ur school's bloomberg terminal? the league table can be customized into industry =) but in HK, Citi IBD has won the best TMT house for last few years from AsiaFinance....I actually prefer Lev Fin/FSG group.....u know......PE coverage is rlly nice and very extensive/intensive modeling skills...
well why TMT is shit to be? Im in Hong Kong though not too aware of wut's going on in London.....But I personally feel JPM should be performing better in Europe while not in Greater China....
