Investment Banking Shops in Los Angeles

After some scoping around through WSO, I have found that much of the discussion/conversations regarding the IB scene is LA is fairly outdated.

That being said, does anyone have any perspective on the reputations of various LA shops (eg Credit Suisse, Lazard, Barclays, Moelis, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, etc).

Any comments/insight are appreciated! Hope y'all are staying safe out there.
