SD’d a couple years back and know a couple in the office.
Pretty sweaty but great deal flow. They separate Tech Coverage and Tech M&A and at the time I heard the top candidates go to Tech M&A but idk if that’s still true. Pretty difficult interview it was in line with EB interviews. Culture seems ok but imo it’s kinda dry. I knew an intern last year that tried to move to a different group within BofA despite being Tech M&A. Pretty sure their exits are great too. They get on a lot of equity deals and were even trying to get an ECM team in house.
Palo Alto is not the best location for banking. Its kinda built on tech companies and Stanford. There’s a few good bars in the area but it’s an older crowd (think PhD students, researchers, SWE/Tech workers, etc). On top of that it’s pretty pricey and the drive down from SF will definitely take at least an hour each way.
At the end of the day, great place for volume and reps as long as you don’t mind Palo Alto or maybe have a few friends in the area
Thank you very much! That’s super helpful.
I don’t like the whole ranking thing but in terms of deal flow they’re not quite at like GS/MS/Q but they are in line with JPM/EVR/CVP. Im sure someone may disagree but they have very solid deal flow
Thanks for your input!
not the commenter above but if you do go to school where ur username says I would be careful and consider changing to anon since it can be easy for them to narrow down who u are
Me?
my bad meant to reply to op. looks like they changed their username
Echo what starving analyst said on everything and i heard the culture is much better in the recent years. sounds like the analysts are super close with each other.
I know exits have been great, couple folks at Vista and TB and sorts.
