I'm in the interviewing process with FTP for 2019SA, and they're asking me for my office preferences.
My goal is to lateral to a BB/EB and then pursue PE.
I know NYC has more opportunities for lateral to BB/EB and PE, but FT Partners is based out of SF so I'm not sure how developed their NYC office is.
Need to respond today– insight is appreciated.

SF
why
If it’s just SA and not FT, you could just go to the more developed office, kill it, get the offer, then leverage it for a BB/EB interview and later offer in NY. I think you should focus on which office will better set you up to land the offer or to gain EB/BB FT interviews.
FT Partners is the name of the bank. I think this is for SA.
Lol, I actually added the parentheses later cause I thought I saw another FT before FT partners. Alright, well the comment still stands.
thanks for responding. the main office is SF, but most of the BB/EB people i know are in NY so wouldn't it be easier to network in NY?
anyone else?
hey man do you mind telling what they asked? have the phone interview in a couple of days so any help will be great
what did you end up choosing? someone asked me the same question. I'm leaning towards sf since it's just for SA but I guess sf would be more competitive or something so hesitating choosing sf and networking in nyc would be easier I guess
How long after the online assessment did you guys get contacted for an interview? I did mine a week ago I guess I got dinged?
FT Partners Location Question (Originally Posted: 08/01/2018)
Does anyone know about any differences between FT Parters's SF and NY location in terms of culture, hours, dealflow, etc.? I think I'd rather be in NY location wise, but I know their headquarters are in SF, so I am unsure which location to try for. Any insight would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
Hi jjalltheway, no, I never sleep and so I can respond to any lonely threads (like this one) at all hours of the night. Impressive, I know ;-)
If we're lucky, maybe these professional users will respond: @runNYC11" Андрей-Бачинский anthonygalvan
You're welcome.
BUMP, need to choose SF or NY by tomorrow
SF is more laid back but NY has more opps. More people have lateraled in NY than in SF though.
So when people talk about the shitty culture and consistent100 hr weeks, that's more of NY?
Are you saying more people lateral into the NY office or NY has better exit opps for lateraling to a BB/EB?
Which would you pick for 2020 SA?
