Do you know something about CS SF that the rest of us don't? Place a bunch of guys at KKR or something? Not that they're "bad" at all, but I never thought of them as up there with the other 3.
Also: Lazard has a strong HC team. Their Tech is not quite as strong in terms of dealflow. Can't comment on opps.
I have no idea if that is the concrete ranking, but I would be surprised if Qatalyst wouldn't be higher up. Then again, Qatalyst does sell-sides only, so I guess it would be hard to talk about buy sides in interviews if you've never experienced one. Then again, I heard one guy went to KKR from Qatalyst, go figure.

Yeah, Accel-KKR is a VC shop, someone from Wells Fargo/Wachovia is there from tech as well.
how about lazard in la?
Lazard in LA is a strong shop, one of the few execution focused places in LA.
From what I heard dealflow hasn't been amazing lately and they're not the most supportive for the Analysts making the jump to buy-side
meh I'm not sure about them not being supportive, all of the analysts (2 total) that I know that worked there are now at very reputable buyside firms
what about MS sf or MS LA?
ares and i'm blanking on the other one
