PWP LA Investment Banking

Hello Everyone, Just got an offer from PWP LA, it’s an industrials team pretty small shop. Does anyone know how good it is/how good exit oops are?

Does it compare to like MS LA? Or some of the other West Coast offices like Evercore SF?

Any insight would be great.

Congratulations on the offer.

The LA office recently hired a Partner in their A&D practice who has a strong link with Defense primes. I believe the Industrials team has MDs across offices who leverage the pool of analysts in NY and LA related to their mandates. 

I think the PWP office would align more with the Lazard Industrials office in LA which does quite a bit of A&D transactions. Overall, the Industrials M&A team is quite strong in deal flow. Not sure about exits.
