IB in LA thread (Comp & Best Groups)

So I know there is a few outdated threads about LA IB, but does anyone have info on the IB scene in LA? I want to get into M&A and would be interested to hear of quality shops and what kind of compensation to expect. Also, for those working in LA, where the fuck do I live?
