BAML Tech M&A vs. Moelis M&A - Analyst - West Coast

BAML.

If I tell you Moelis, someone else will tell you BAML. Point is both are great, but the culture and where you fit better should determine your decision. In Finance, both have a great name and reputation.

would go with moelis myself. But if you more interested in tech, go with that

Uhhh isn't it obviously MoCo? Especially in the west coast... Moelis dominates Southern Caifornia investment banking.

BAML's pretty strong on the financing side in tech, but not really seen much in M&A

If you really want tech or have a preference for SF vs LA, go with BAML, otherwise moelis.

the "more variety" card doesn't really apply when you're in an industry-specific vertical within a product group. You wont be seeing a variety of deals - you'll be doing tech m&a

I can't believe this hasn't been a landslide.. Everyone knows nothing gets done out of the Palo Alto BAML Tech M&A group. Summer Analysts jumped ship even after getting offers. I would take Moelis in a heartbeat.

depends what you want to do.

this is tech vs. generalist M&A

I say if you have any interest in tech, BAML Tech M&A will get you to any growth equity shop. you just have to execute during the interviews.

Moelis, but do so with the understanding that you will utterly resent how much you will work.

baml palo alto is weak. go to moelis

Moelis LA has far better placement than BAML if that's what you're looking for.
