West coast office size

Generally, how big are the BB and elite boutique offices in the west coast? For example, GS SF, Moelis LA, MS Menlo Park, BAML Palo Alto, etc...

Thanks!

IBangingDivisionYeah, I would assume SF offices would be around 50-100 people. Am I completely wrong?
more realisitically 10 - 50, with the average number closer to 20 or 30
 

most of the westcoast office you have to recruit for the specific office and not from nyc. This is the case for every bank i know...might be exceptions out there (doubt it). They can refer you from nyc to sf if you get a superday sometimes
