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.

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…
