Career Resources
SF, especially for tech\healthcare
Why Healthcare? Aren't most of the major healthcare groups (GS, Merrill, MS etc.) based out of NYC?
Houston for energy
houston is 3rd and chicago 4th
Is it not Charlotte? BofA and Wachovia have all their stuff there...
No, BofA only has a few debt groups down there, and well Wachovia.
Much more of a banking presence in Chicago or SF/LA, where a majority if not all major banks have atleast one group head there.
What about Boston? Anything?
Boston has some Tech and FIG i think, but SF is probably the 2nd placed city after NYC
