Elite Boutiques on the West Coast

Hi all, wondering how strong/what exit opportunities are available for elite boutiques on the West Coast. I've looked into the New York groups and know that some of these firms have the best placement into MF/HF but couldn't' find too much info for west coast shops. Do BBs dominate the west coast for the most part? How would going to PWP/PJT/EVER SF be compared to a solid BB group?
