PWP SF vs PWP LA

Need to decide which to recruit for. Don't have a preference for technology (SF) or industrials (LA). Judging off of growth, long term trajectory, exits, and culture, which would be better?

Don’t know much about PWP LA, but I got an offer from PWP SF earlier this year and turned it down. Talked to alumni in both the Tech and HC groups, and it seems like the culture in the SF office is rough, deal flow is mediocre and is really just constant pitching, and PWP SF in general doesn’t seem to be of the same caliber of any other notable SF office except for Greenhill SF.
