Pretty sure the Tech group in SF is not recruiting this cycle if that’s what you’re asking.

 

Analyst 1 in IB - Cov:

How come? Turned them down last year for another place on par so curious about my decision


Don’t know how but know a few ppl going there and they confirmed they’re not taking interns this cycle. Also chatted someone working there said the same. No opening for SF Tech either. Group seems to be doing decent tho
