Why did you go to school in NYC if you want to be in LA?
If only people did thinks that make sense...lol
Maybe because Columbia > UCLA. Maybe.
Not if you want to stay in LA...
You would still interview through OCR then show interest in their LA office during your first round. All banks have decent sized offices with CS/MS/GS/Moelis the best.
.
LA offices in terms of quality in that order?
Not in that order. But those are the best places.
CS and MS are the largest as far as people. MS originates all their west coast M&A from the LA office. GS is strictly consumer I believe. Moelis is obviously a great place. JPM is pretty small with about 10 bankers. UBS still a good presence, it's just they keep losing people. Can't really speak about the rest.
he goes to NYU
CS LA is a great shop. Those kids cleaned up this recruiting season.
.
Exactly.
