Does UBS still have an office in la? And feel like Roth la is a little high
Typical inaccurate post made by a college freshman. UBS LA doesn’t even exist anymore. Remaining team of FT/Interns got absorbed into WF LA.
Congrats on Citi SF!
Disgusting takes all around lmao
Forgot FTP in S+++, pls fix
Terrible attention to detail, you have MOE SF twice. MOE SF sucks to work for. Nobody's heard of Roth LA, there's like 6 people.
Citi, BofA, WB, PWP should be on the same tier.
Have also heard BofA west coast offices have decent culture and hours with fine exits. Barclays, RBC, Santander also decent.
.
Nobody is taking JPM SF over HL RX/MOE/MS SF/CVP. Enjoy ECM though
Correct.
How are exits across the S tier banks?
S tier 😎
Exits are going to be more or less the same across the top groups (GS TMT, MS Menlo, EVR Menlo, JPM SF (caveat that they have a large class so it can wary). Leaving out Q, as for the most part they don't look to exit
congrats on JPM SF (ECM)
What about Piper Burlingame (ex DBO Partners)?
Here are actual accurate rankings as someone in the Bay Area scene, its honestly pretty equal (all mid) besides the big 3. These are mostly based on tech groups with some HC bankers scattered in. Happy to answer questions abt any of the groups.
Q, GS TMT, MS Menlo
-- (big gap)
CVP HC, EVR Menlo, JPM SF, MOE LA
-- (another sizeable gap)
LAZ SF, CVP PA (Tech) , MOE SF, Citi SF, HL RX
-- (small gap)
PWP SF/LA, PJT SF, BofA PA, Barc SF, JEFF SF
-- (tier below are all very solid still)
WB, Liontree, Tidal, WF, PS, ROTH LA, GHL SF
-- (ass)
UBS, FTP, RBC, DB, BofA MM, Rest
more specific insights into jeff and barc? how are hours/deal flow
more specific details about GHL SF?
just did a solid uber deal, all i know
MOE SF should probably be as high (if not swap places with) JPM SF. Also, where is CVP Tech SF? Some sit in the city and that is definitely up there as well.
Not that great a list tbh.
Congrats on MOE SF! That place is a notch below JPM SF in terms of deal flow quality, not sure why you even bring this up
Also, CVP Tech is in Menlo not SF
No lies here - MOE SF is a sweatshop, but you get good exits.
Some CVP Tech folks sit in SF.
How is Ducera SF?
