Career Resources
Work at one of the banks in the city if at all possible. Qatalyst, GS are obviously the best but there are some other decent groups. Moelis SF has had some very good exits of late despite having pretty lackluster deal flow
MS not worth it?
Kind of in a tough spot if you work in PA/MP. You could take BART from the city, but that will take 45 mins each way, and when you are getting slammed at CVP/Evercore/BofA that last thing you want to do is take that long of a commute. You could find an apartment in PA/MP but it may be a bit expensive (1800/studio) and the nightlife down there sucks. Very suburban-esque, family oriented in PA/MP. It's really up to you- the tradeoff is time versus location. (Rent prob same in both city/MP if you are living alone).
