Hi everyone, I really didn't see much relevant discussion on these offices in LA/SF. Coming out of school in the Bay Area, I wanted to know about these firms before recruiting really kicks off, if you have any insight please add. This is for 2021 SA.
If you have any insight, feel free to add, thanks

Mostly MM that you listed. I wouldn't do HL CorpFin - limited exit opps there. These groups are all quite tiny and low-key too (I didn't even know BAML had an LA office).
If you're interested in LA, your best best are Moelis LA, CS LA, HL LA (RX),
Tons of great tech groups in SF out there, but HL and RBC are certainly lower-tier. I could list at least 15 groups better than both of these in SF - lots of threads on this site there. Also I didn't even know LionTree had an SF group - think they do most of their work out of NYC.
Would you say Moelis LA is the best shop on west coast?
That might be a bit of a stretch... Don't forget GS TMT is in SF. Certainly one of the best in LA though.
