Bulge Bracket Healthcare Group Rankings in SF? Deal Flow/Exit Ops/Comp?

Question

Would like to know where BBs rank in terms of deal flow/compensation/exit ops within Healthcare in San Francisco. Where do the majority of biopharma guys recruit to? Much appreciated.

Being honest, HC is one of the most equally matched sectors amongst the top 3-4 banks. That being said, JPM probably is the top group in terms of deal flow and consistency. BAML was absolutely killing it, still is, but lost some MDs about a year ago. MS does well too of course. GS healthcare is actually relatively weak but it's GS so they still get good work. Past that, not much in the way of competition from Citi, Barclays, etc.

TLDR; JPM, BAML in terms of total volume and of course MS and GS are who they are in terms of prestige and exits etc, so......

Honestly, I don't know that much about HC so not sure you want me shooting from the hip on this one. This also isn't SF specific, but general deal flow based on what I've seen coming from HC to M&A and CapMarkets at my bank and others. From what I've heard from my friends in HC though, the top 4 banks (GS, JPM, BAML, MS) do a good amount of HC volume across the different verticals and it changes a lot year by year. There might be proficiencies but I'd have to get back to you on those since I just don't know.

The other BBs yeah are all a bit behind.

hospitalER - Making decision by end of day since Laz explodes tomorrow. Definitely taking that over RBC...however just got an offer from Houli down in LA for their M&T group. As an LA kid it makes the process of isolating location preference from my decision a lot more difficult. I am way more interested in Healthcare and I am fairly sure the deals Laz does in SF are consistently larger with this Houli group in LA, but I can't lie to myself saying location (and preference for LA) isn't being considered right now.

please don't make this mistake.

Healthcare groups in SF - need FT offer advice (Originally Posted: 10/15/2013)

I was wondering if anyone has extensive knowledge of SF offices and in particular, their healthcare groups. Deciding between Lazard and RBC right now for FT. As a summer from outside of SF it's a hard decision because I don't know much about the individual street rep of each of these groups. I really enjoy the guys at both groups culture-wise and see the pros in joining either.
