GS TMT SF vs MS Menlo

Both bbs in the bay seem very similar, I'm finding it hard to differentiate them on strength. Does anyone have any insights into specifics, verticals, culture, exits, etc?

What is your end goal here? If you want to be a career banker, go with where you think you will fit in with the team the best. If you want PE, both will give you equal looks from the top shops. They're basically the same in terms of reputation and prestige, and only you know yourself well enough to know which one is a better fit for you

 

Bump, currently AN1 at a lower MM/BB. Considering lateraling, what's the current state of these two groups?

 

GS SF TMT better imo nowadays - culture, M&A dealflow, and probably location are better vs MS Menlo

 

GS is the superior brand nowadays, so would go with GS TMT SF. Deal flow is honestly the same give or take but the Goldman brand is unbeaten
