SA 24 Offer: Citi vs. LT vs. JEFF vs. Barc vs. BAML

recently got offers from some of the above and wanted to hear more about how their tech groups in the SF Bay Area would compare in terms of analyst experience, deal flow and exit opps. Heard that traditionally BAML has been the strongest but it's on the decline while Citi and JEFF are on the rise? What about LT's SF tech group? How do those groups compare in terms of exit opps??


Know on some other threads that GS/MS/Q leads tech banking followed by EVR/JPM/LAZ but how would the above groups compare? If I wanted to FT recruit or lateral to GS TMT/MS Menlo/Q or a top BB/EB in NYC, which one would get the strongest recognition?

 

1 - BAML

2 - Barclays, Citi

3 - LT (if media & entertainment)

4 - Jefferies

Take BAML unless you really enjoy the team at Citi or Barclays

 

I don't understand why people keep saying this on WSO....

Citi Tech's main guy was not poached by Evercore... Citi poached JPM's main tech guy and their old main tech guy left for Evercore out of spite 

 

so given the exodus of top seniors at BAML, how do you think Citi and Barclays compare to it now? After losing Herb Yeh, does Citi still have a footing with the new MD hires?
