Bro. NY
NY will give better exits, if only for the fact you're not a 6 hour plane right away when oncycle kicks off. If you're indifferent go with NY
I worked in the SF office last summer, and exits seemed to be alright. That said, lifestyle was as good as it gets. MDs had completely bought into the hybrid model. We were back in the office but all analysts left at like 6 PM and would turn comments at home. Didn’t seem to be a COVID thing either as I had a talk with the MDs about it.
MF likely more consistent in nyc just given larger analyst pool but MF and other A tier exits are plentiful from SF. Would choose based on culture and geographical preference, either case you are meeting the threshold of banking group prestige where your success recruiting will come down more to the individual than the group.
Was this Sponsors and West Region Advisory? Did you find there was strong deal flow in the office or were you working on a lot of pitches?
If you solely care about lifestyle, then I would go to SF sponsors. If you only care about exits, then go to NY sponsors.
Personally, I would go with NY sponsors. The lifestyle is still great in the scheme of IB and the exits are top notch. I think MS sponsors is one of the best/most underrated groups on the street. The placement to MF/UMM is really strong and the culture/hours are the best in the NYC office.
I can’t speak to SF sponsors exits, but the hours are pretty good. They would be offline before NYC coverage groups. Pretty sure they actually enforce the weekend work policy too. I think you have to get signatures to work Saturdays…
