Is PWP in SF the worst EB office? (bad experience)
From networking, the dealflow, and horror stories from my target, I think it is fair to label PWP SF as probably the worst office and one to stay away from if possible for incoming SA/FT. All the relevant tech/software is done in NY, culture is bottom bucket and it simply seems miserable.
However, I struck out everywhere and only have an offer from Mizuho in SF right now. I am still recruiting atm and would love to hear other's thoughts on lower EB SF offices.
I honestly can't tell if you are shitting on PWP SF or comparing it to your offer. I think 99.9% of the sub, including me, would take PWP SF over any Mizuho office or group in a heartbeat.
Understandable
Not working at PWP let alone SF, but whatever makes you feel better bud. Pretty ironic that you're talking about pitching lmao. Got a big mouth for someone who "struck out everywhere."
Edit: They changed their comment
I'll let you know Mizuho has a great culture and a large balance sheet that lets them play active roles across the tech landscape in the West Coast. I am excited about the possibility of working with one of the better DCM bankers in tech and learn from him until I have the tools to lateral into Qatalyst (probably for FullTime). I started recruiting in April because my mom died and I wasn't in the headspace to learn what a DCF was. Thanks, jerk
How were your interviews? Any technicals, etc? How many rounds?
I have prepped extensively and am ready for accounting, dcf but not LBOs (ew). Can also do mental math (think 1+1, 3x3, 0*942). Is this enough?
Thank you in advance for your response sir!
Elite boutiques are MC, EVR, CVP, PJT, PWP, GHL, GUGG, LAZNo other banking is an EB
Damn bruh. You must’ve gotten rejected by PWP real hard. Look at the league tables posted the other day. PWP is above every bank you listed but EVR.
