For Tech, MS/GS/Qatalyst on the west coast. Think MS east coast is solid as well, maybe CS too on both coasts.

For Media/Telecom, GS TMT, MS M&T, PJT (?), JPM M&T, Moelis LA (?)

 

Just from networking with others, I gathered that Moelis LA is one of the strongest on the entire west coast. Credit Suisse in San Francisco has had a ton of talent leave and they are more in the rebuilding stage, but CS LA is pretty strong. Goldman and MS are super strong in TMT on both the East and West coasts. Have heard that Barclays and DB tech does not have great exit opps (DB is one of the weaker banks in M&A advisory in software and internet and focuses on semi-conductors.) I have a friend who went to my school worked at BAML tech and now he's in a solid PE shop. He said they have a really strong presence in software. Not sure if he just happened to place well or if the other analysts placed well also.

For boutiques, I have heard that Lazard tech is pretty weak and Evercore's tech platform is strong and getting stronger. Qatalyst is very strong in tech. Greenhill in San Francisco places very well.

And don't forget Allen&Co for Media in New York.
