I've been getting pretty far in the interview process for a group who's based out of San Fransisco. I think they mentioned that the expectation is for the new analyst to be in SF but they also have people all over the country and New York obviously.
I've been scared to bring up that I would only take the offer if it's in New York because I dont want to just get dropped immediately. Do you think I should be upfront and honest with them or should I see if I get the offer first and then be like hey by the way I'm only accepting if I can be in the NYC office.

Probably best not to waste anyone’s time - would tell them sooner rather than later if you’re already deep in the process. Not only their time but yours - would you want to waste time interviewing somewhere you have absolutely no intention of joining?
Valid advice, thank you
You’ll get dropped and the bank will be sour about you / won’t have any chance of joining in the future if you’re not honest with them. Just like the person above said, you’ll save everyone time
True. I decided to send them an email about my location preference and they said: "Understood, thank you for this." Not sure what that means exactly but I guess I'll find out
I've worked in SF offices my whole (short) career so far and been in charge or running recruitment and can tell you that the hiring is totally separate from NYC hiring. Usually the hiring is done at different times and they cannot really help you get into the NYC office process. The only potential route would be if you spend a year or two in the SF office you could transfer.
sucks to hear especially since right on LinkedIn it said New York. Thanks for the insight though
