Updated Views on SF to NY PE Oncycle
Given on-cycle is during training in NYC, are SF analysts (from top groups) still at a disadvantage?

What would you say are the main reasonings for this? Just that SF experience is discounted?
Associates are just bodies and are fungible. If I’m a NY PE firm and I only need 5-10 associates then I can easily fill my class with candidates in NY who can come to my office to interview as soon as oncycle kicks off. Little no benefit waiting to sample SF talent pool. SF experience is also viewed a notch below (or at best on par with) an nyc analyst program
Would like to only believe this is partially accurate … your top buy side investment firms will want the cream of the crop talent, no matter where it comes from.
if there are analysts at GS TMT, Qatalyst, and top buyside analyst programs in non-NY locations (Bain, Vista, KKR / BX Growth, maybe even Ares), I don’t think HHs will give “special treatment” to some run of the mill NY IB analysts compared to the folks above, despite being outside of NY…. Just my two cents
What you're saying is logical but I've seen year after year of west coast analysts from GS TMT, MS tech, and Q not get as good looks as "run of the mill" NY analysts from Bofa, Citi, etc. even when explicitly expressing interest in NY.
My point was that no one gets special treatment because associates are just workhorses. If a fund has to choose between interviewing someone from Qatalyst tomorrow or interviewing someone from GS TMT NY or MS M&A NY tonight they’ll likely schedule interviews with both but will interview person in NY first (assuming in person interviews) and will give them the offer if they do well.
