MS Menlo vs Barclays NY vs Evercore M&A

Have offers/SDs for those in title for the 2024 summer. I might not 100% want to go into typical exits of buyout PE. In comparison, I have a strong interest in tech and probably want to do tech-related finance in the long term. But does the NY location really matter as a fresh grad out of college? Also, what is the interplay when it comes to how BB/EBs are perceived outside of finance? Thank you!

If you go to a target on the east coast, your network will most likely be in NYC which is important. Do you have friends and family in SF? Menlo is not a fun place to live/work in if you don't have connections, but obviously, it's a great opportunity. If you don't want to do finance longterm, then barclays is a name brand but evercore is pretty well known too. You should really secure the bag before posting here though and actually talk to people you know IRL. I can tell you personally I chose culture and family over an option on the other coast that could have been better professionally, and it was right for me. But that may not be right for you.
