They have large hubs in Charlotte, Minneapolis, and San Francisco. That being said, they have a presence in NYC but there is a larger presence in Charlotte, NC. 75% chance that the group you're looking for is in Charlotte.
Even tech?
No, tech is based in SF. DiscountedSmashFlow provided a good breakdown of major locations for groups. WF operates on a regional IB model with offices across the US.
Alright, Wells doesn't have IB (maybe a regional office but not for interns or as a major office) in Minneapolis. They have Charlotte, SF, NYC, LA, and Houston. They are growing the NYC office but Charlotte is still the IB HQ. Here is an accurate group breakdown by location.
Awesome thank you. I applied to tech IB for 2019 FT, yet my first round is with an Associate in Real Estate IB based in Charlotte. Any idea on why?
I have no real idea why so take what i say with a grain of salt. It could be a initial phone screen that is just testing you're basic finance/IB knowledge to see if you're basically skilled enough to move to tech specific interviews.
I thought industrials was in Chicago
Nope, half in NYC, half in CLT. To my knowledge no IB, other than a small regional IB office, in Chicago
Can confirm FIG will all be in NYC by 2020
