Wall Street banks and private equity’s tussle over junior talent

Now, powerful figures such as JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon are publicly decrying the strategy. The FT’s Wall Street editor Sujeet Indap and banking editor Ortenca Aliaj explain the origins of this friction and what it says about the future of Wall Street and private equity’s top firms.
