William Blair no question about it
BofA
Definitely not MS or EVR
MS Tech is in Menlo Park (not SF) and M&C (MT) is in NY. MS SF is mostly fsg and healthcare if not mistaken.
PWP
Consistent feedback has been: Barclays Menlo Park; PWP SF; William Blair SF. Followed by BofA PA (edited - thanks for pointing I have a habit of just treating everyone including CVP as being in MP when BoA ans CVP both are in PA) although they had a bunch of departures at senior level so remains to be seen if this continues.
Bank of America is in Palo Alto
Heard BOFA PA has phenomenal culture from one of their past interns. He claimed that office as a whole id the nicest collective of finance peeps he has ever met.
Any insight on MM and boutiques (HW, HL, PS, etc...)
