Lazard TMT vs. Evercore Tech
Please help decide. Both will be in SF (Evercore is in Menlo Park, location wise a little concerning). However personally don't mind.

Well EVR pays analysts extremely well (80-100% base for bonus, and I think their signing is 25k?). Laz on the other hand is pretty skimpy. These are NYC numbers, but I'm pretty sure regional offices follow a similar pattern. I think EVR is a newer office, but seem to be doing well from my anecdotal experience.
I don't know too much about tech exit opps but I'd say they're pretty much a toss up. I think you should really go based on fit, especially since SF offices tend to be much smaller.
I'm east coast based so take my advice with a grain of salt.
thank you for your input! appreciate it
Lazard TMT mostly does Buyside M&A work for big tech companies like Google, etc.
If you want to work as an extension of Google's corp dev team, go to laz, lol
As others have said, it depends what experience you want. For traditional IB and better exits, I'd pick Evercore. Better pay and the culture there is unbeatable. Lazard SF is honestly more like consulting.
bump
Banking doesn't honestly vary that much place to place, would just pick where you liked the people more (commute also matters depending on where you've living I guess
menlo is tough to work in while living in SF. def something to consider.
