mannn fuck the y**kees
I hate the Yankees and will not work in NYC. On a real note, how does Boston/Philly/DC fare in terms of a banking scene, exit oops, comp, and lifestyle??

Fuck the Red Sox
Boston has some solid MM tech banking opps. RayJames, Blair, Harris Williams, and then some like Shea and Company that are smaller. Healthcare boutiques like Providence Healthcare Partners are there too. I think Lazard or one of the EBs has a small office there too, I dont remember. There's good healthcare and tech buyside opps. PE, GE, VC, AM. I feel like Boston's pretty expensive, especially once you want to have a family in the burbs. There's a thread I think called "Boston Sucks" or or "Boston's overrated" or something like that in the off topic a little while back where people were talking about all of the issues.
Why not Chicago? Definitely more representation than Philly
SVB Leerink, Jefferies, HL Tech (Small), RJ Tech. Its not bad but its not New York. Lots of good shops though.
Fuck baseball. I bet Lil Nas X plays baseball
Boston is an incredibly overrated city, and is not a place I would recommend to any young people. It's not like NYC or other major cities where things are open late at night, virtually everything in Boston closes at 10 pm on weekdays. On the weekend, the only places that stay open past 11 pm are bars. The nightlife is not really good in terms of bars/clubs either, and you are paying NYC prices for virtually everything. Also, the T closes very early and does not stay open late at night. Almost everything in Boston will either be Tech/Healthcare. Virtually everything in DC is going to be Aerospace & Defence. Yes, there are other coverage groups in both cities but mainly what I previously listed. DC is expensive but not nearly as bad as NYC or Boston. Almost everyone that works at a DC bank either lives in northern Virginia or in Bethesda, Maryland, but mainly in northern Virginia. This is because rent is substantially cheaper in both of those areas. DC nightlife is good, but nothing to write home about. Not a lot of people venture into the city for nightlife, since you have to take the metro and it closes early. For Boston, people kind of live all over the place since it's pretty spread out. Living closer to the financial district in Boston will obviously be more expensive. I've never heard of investment banking in Philadephia.
I don't think Philadelphia has a banking scene.
Of the three cities I’d choose DC. The people in Boston are terrible and it’s overpriced with bad weather l. I like Philly but there is no finance (or really any business) scene. DC has smart people, lots to do, good suburbs and an adequate finance scene. I’m older and have seen a number of friends move there with good options across IB, PE and tech. Fair amount of focus on cyber security, govt services etc
