Credit Suisse LA

Hi all,

Wanted to get an update on how CS LA is doing, and how they stack up against different west coast / east coast groups for PE recruiting. I know the group is focusing on sponsors/gaming, and that CS usually combines levfin into the sponsors group, what kind of work does this end up entailing? Any info is appreciated, thanks!
