Career Resources
I assume you are going into tech and want to go buyside tech. I wouldn't call any of these MM firms anywhere near top-tier MM in tech (or really any industry). I would choose one of the BBs, you will be way more competitive for buy-side recruiting even without being in NY.
How do people recruit from SF for NYC buy-side?
This is a no brainer. Please go BB over these MM especially for tech. SF is better than it’s rep, I’m in one of the BB groups you mentioned. Come off private if you have questions ill PM
