HL tech team is strong after the GCA acquisition. Can’t speak for Macquarie.
The NY tech team’s culture seems good but I’ve heard bad things about SF.

HL easily
Macquarie has a strong ed-tech team in Chicago
I think OP is asking about SF lol
Not too sure about SF HL Tech but the NYC Tech team is very fratty
Macquerie is a no name in my city (no tech here) so based off that alone I’d go HL
