Best IBD out of B4 in LA area?

Hi all,

Preface: I'm actively recruiting for IB internships in LA coming from a non-target. I'm unsure if I will land an IB internship at a bank for summer 24 so I wanted to prepare for an alternative to break into banking at a later time in my career. I have an upcoming audit internship with PwC (reason why this is mentioned is below).

What B4 firms have the best IBD in LA? - How do they compare to Comp/Hours/Exit Opps to MM banks? What role at the B4 firms is best to lateral into IB at a MM? How would I go about an internal transfer from Audit -> IBD?

Appreciate any insight.
