Nasdaq vs Goldman vs JP Morgan

Is it more prestigious to work on the Nasadq or for Goldman or for JP Morgan as an investment banker?

Goldman, then JPM, then NASDAQ. Although the Goldman luster is not as strong as it was 10 years ago, still the most prestigious.

How about Morgan?

Super close to JPM on prestige. Maybe edges higher.

So is the Nasdaq just like really low on the list?

You're comparing working for a bank vs. working for an exchange. They are just different :)

Goldman is still prob the most presitgious based on legacy feelings but the pay isn't far and above the others to be commensurate with that - at least as far as I know and have seen. Although in terms of IB I guess you could look at the league tables to figure out who is doing the best as a proxy (doesn't account for sentiment I guess)
