I think Standard Pacific Capital is there which has some billion dollar funds. Farallon is definitely massive. Raj mentioned BGI, i think thats the biggest asset manager in the world (someone can correct on this if im wrong).

 

I don't know how great of advice this is as I haven't tried it myself (still an undergrad too), but I know we have a very active CFA society in The Bay:

They seem to have a lot of great events that you could probably use to network with prominent PMs and the like.

haha, they even have a "CFA Society of San Francisco and Financial Women's Association of San Francisco Joint Mixer." I smell a meat-market!
