Looking into what locations Goldman has IBD groups in, specifically M&A as that is what I’m interning in right now (not investment banking but technically private equity).

GS doesnt have an M&A group, all the classics execute them inhouse. GS has NY, SF, CHI, LA, and HTX as their main hubs in US
Literally all. They group you into buckets based on industry
Don't listen to the above posters... GS DOES have an M&A group. Though this is misleading because it's more of an activism defense group.
Since the dawn of time, GS will not do a hostile takeover - bad for business if you're backing the "hostile" party when you want large corporates as your clients. So, they created the "M&A" group that essentially does takeover defense. The above posters are correct that M&A execution / modeling is done by the industry groups and junior bankers.
