I was just recently offered a SA spot in the FIG group of a large regional bank in Philly. I nailed the interviews thanks to the WSO fit and tech guides. Literally every question or some variation of it that I was asked was in there sans brainteasers.
So...anyone anything about Philly?

I know a lot about philly, what do you mean, in terms of living area?
The city itself is much smaller than New York, where in NYC there are always people on the streets at all hours, Philly is empty after 6pm with the exception of Friday and Saturday nights (the freaking subways close down at 12:30am). However, there is a nice cultural core to the city, some great restaurants and some affordable (and still nice) suburbs.
I live in Philly...ask away!
I'm assuming you got a position at Janney, they're like 3 blocks from my place...
Is it a fun city? What restaurants and bars do you recommend? Anywhere I can fish?
Is this Blastoise?
???
Nevermind, kid that used to post here a ton was all about fishing. Had to ask.
I live in Philly. Let's get a meet up going.
