If you had an offer from every group in every bank in every location, which one would you take and why? Choose multiple different offers for different career aspirations if you'd like.
Feel free to say things like "If I wanted to recruit for PE I would go to X bank in Y group in Z city for this reason" but if I wanted to be a lifetime banker I would go to "X bank in Y group in Z city for this reason."

Rancid
I’m a big believer in the well-trodden path, so I’m extremely humbled and excited to announce I’ll be going with your mother this recruiting season
CVP Palo Alto for me. Easy choice as a Stanford grad.
Where are you now?
I’m in development at one of Related/Hines/Tishman/TCC. No longer in the bay
Jc, why is that an easy choice? There are banks in SF/Bay Area with much better deal flow, culture, and/or better pay (Qatalyst)
I have heard good things about the office before and I’d rather be right in the area than up in SF. EVR Menlo is also close but has a mediocre rep from what I understand.
Purely focusing on the lifestyle here
Wasn't a significant majority of this team poached / left for another opportunity?
I like public and private investing, and absolutely tech so a crossover fund like Coatue, D1, Dragoneer etc would be my dream
Tobin & Company!
Probably something like NEA where I can study and invest in some of the most innovative diagnostic devices and novel therapies.
I’d be happy to take D Sols job.
