Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that the West Coast offices of Thoma Bravo, Vista Equity, TPG Capital, and General Atlantic have had a variety of exit opportunities over the years.
For instance, from 2012-2017, Goldman Sachs SF - TMT saw exits to firms like Vista Equity and Palantir, while JP Morgan SF - TMT saw exits to firms like Virunga. BofA TMT also had exits to Golden Gate, Pegasus VC, Thoma Bravo, and multiple tech growth equity funds.
However, it's important to note that the culture and work-life balance at these firms can vary. For example, Thoma Bravo has been noted for its successful strategy, but there's a discussion about how much more they can continue to grow.
As for the comparison between the East Coast and West Coast offices, it's hard to say without more specific information. However, it's worth noting that the tech scene is very prominent on the West Coast, which could influence the types of opportunities available.
Remember, it's always a good idea to do your own research and reach out to people who have worked at these firms to get a more accurate picture. Good luck with your decision!
