Does Los Angeles contain any Technology Investment Bank Groups?

I love Los Angeles and Tech and I don't want to pick one or the other.

“Wilson was very helpful in my resume review. He asked clarifying questions to help me highlight the key aspects of my resume. Following the review, I feel confident that my updated resume accurately reflects my my professional work experience. I also appreciated how quick he was to respond to my enquires. His responses were supportive and ensured that my resume reflected key points that are relevant for my experience. I would definitely want to work with Wilson again in the future as this was a great experience for me.”

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I recently had my first roadmap meeting with a mentor from WSO Academy, and it was truly a pleasure. We had such an open, genuine, and insightful conversation. What I appreciated most was how closely his background, career path, and long-term vision aligned with my own ambitions. It was almost as if we shared the same goals and outlook on the future, which made the conversation even more valuable. We discussed a wide range of topics, including starting my career in an analyst role in the APAC region, potential pathways into private equity, and how to eventually transition into the U.S. market. We also talked about opportunities in the Middle East and Europe, the importance of building and maintaining a strong professional network, and even the possibility of starting my own company in the long term. He shared valuable advice on the next steps I should take and how to approach my career strategically. What made the meeting particularly special was how approachable, supportive, and genuinely interested he was in my ambitions. Since I’m currently completing my internship in Singapore and he will also be visiting Singapore soon, we’re planning to meet for a coffee chat, which I’m really looking forward to. Overall, I’m extremely grateful for this experience. It was a genuinely inspiring, helpful, and insightful conversation that made me even more confident about my decision to join WSO Academy. I feel fortunate to have connected with a mentor whose experience and vision align so closely with the career path I hope to pursue.”

I don't know of any major banks with a tech practice in LA but the Sponsors groups (CS, Barcap, MS) get exposure to a lot of tech company deals based on the focus of the West Coast PE firms they cover. However, this won't be exactly the same as a real dedicated tech practice up in the Bay Area.

Head of tech for Rothschild sits in their Bay Area office iirc; if they have a group in LA, it isn't their main one
