Hi everyone,
I want to do IB/PE in Los Angeles - I just like the location a lot.
I am an engineering career-switcher, so Will be doing an MBA starting Sep 2018 to break in.
I'm just wondering: would it be of any significant advantage to attend H/S/W? Or will UCLA be as good of an option, or better, considering I am looking for jobs in LA?
Is the long-term brand recognition of H/S/W important for progression in LA? Or are there enough Anderson alum?
Thanks for any insight!

80% of IBD Associate+ level roles there are Anderson alum. That being said, if you really have the chance to attend H / S, I would do so. W may be a moot point if you're going into IBD LA anyway. PM for more details.
Anderson is great to get into investment banking in LA. But you should go to the best bschool you can get into because chances are that you will exit banking at some point either voluntarily or not, in which case having the best brand matters more.
Hey so how did that work out? still in LA or somewhere else? Asking because I'm considering whether I want to be long-term in NYC or LA.
