There were a couple good threads about west coast banking a fews years ago, but the environment has shifted so much since the crash (e.g. Moelis, UBS having difficulties, Bear and Lehman gone, etc). Which banks' analysts have been doing the best with top west coast pe recruiting this year?
Interested in hearing about GS/MS SF, Moelis LA, UBS LA, CS LA, MS LA, GS LA. Thanks.
I would probably add Jefferies to the list.
GS TMT on top, along with MS tech and Moelis LA
Then you have CS SF,CS LA, UBS LA, etc
For rest, you have HLHZ going into different distressed shops
For MM PE, you have DB Tech, Jefferies SF/Foster City, Citi , UBS SF
Not really sure about Barclays LA, DB LA and other shops
I might miss something here, just can't remember everything now
DB Tech, Jefferies SF is pretty good.
DB LA is dead. Jefferies LA is dead.
Thanks for the info Ricqles.
People have been mentioning that Moelis and UBS LA haven't been doing so great lately, but from what you're saying their analysts are still having strong placement into megafunds?
Also, I've heard that MS and GS LA have historically placed around a quarter of their analysts into top shops (e.g. TPG, Carlyle, LGP, etc). Do you know if they did better/worse this year?
Not too sure about GS/MS LA, but I am sure their SF counterparts place their analysts better.
Moelis is doing great in terms of PE recruiting, ignore what other people say.
UBS LA I am not too sure about, their office got shrunk in half so who knows what's gonna happen next.
In all honesty though, go to a shop where you will fit in, or else you will be miserable and will NOT perform well at all
