Wells boys punching air rn
These don't change every month, there was no need for this.
NYC>SF>>>HOU>CHI>=LA>CHLT>>>BOS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Maybe next month we can get a post ranking these by prestige then we will be set
Charlotte above Houston and Boston is a joke - there's nothing in Charlotte, as nobody gives 2 shits about Well Fargo and all relevant BofA IB happens out of NYC. Most EBs and MMs have elite Boston offices, and Houston is the energy capital of the Western Hemisphere (if not more). If you're gonna do a stupid post like this in the first place don't be so wildly off.
Also LA is being done dirty - every BB/EB office is LA is elite (read any WSO threads about this ever).
1. NYC
2. SF
3. LA
4. Chicago
5. Houston
6. Boston
7. Charlotte/nobody cares/huge dropoff after Boston.
Swap Houston for Chicago in the middle of the shale boom, maybe even further up to #3 back then.
Spotted the incoming LA analyst
BofA Charlotte seniors are really sucky from what I heard. Apparently they get stuck with the deals NYC doesn’t want idk how true that part is though. Analysts are all chill though.
I do not think the Citi LA office is very good.
So they’re stupid for making a city ranked list...but your city ranked list is the one that matters most??
Uh. Okay.
