Guggenheim PA is a really new office, just started last year and is still really small, mainly just focused on enterprise software. While Guggenheim's a great firm, I'd definitely go with Jefferies SF as its a much more established office. Jefferies SF is a larger and much stronger office from the deal flow perspective, and from what I've heard from analysts recruiting they also have pretty good buy-side placement, with UMM being very doable and the occasional MF exit.
Go with Jefferies SF. Jefferies SF is a really strong office, plays right among the mid-BBs in the SF banking scene except for the headline mega-deals, which are usually dominated by some subset of GS/MS/Qatalyst serving as sell-side advisors and a consortium of BBs serving as buy-side advisors when financing is needed, or GS/MS when the acquirer doesn't need that much financing. Exits from Jefferies SF are also very solid, UMM is pretty common, MF is doable but not common, and MM is also pretty common. Guggenheim PA was just founded last year, really only focuses on software, and doesn't yet have the track record or momentum to match up with Jefferies SF.
I'll definitely echo what's been said above and recommend Jefferies. Much larger office with a very strong track record and momentum, and a much safer choice for an SA. Guggenheim PA's office is very new and small, and while it may be a cool place to lateral to down the line, I'd definitely recommend starting your career at an established SF Tech group.
