Would love to get some more in-depth insight on LA banks in terms of exits/prestige/bonuses/culture. It seems like the major players are Moelis/CS/MS/Barclays/Houlihan/Lazard, but it would be helpful to hear others’ opinions (especially if you work in LA). I’ve heard CS sponsors/LevFin and Moelis place really well. This isn’t meant to be another ranking - just more of a lay of the land.
