Does prestige matter in SF?
Talking to people who recruited for PE from NYC banking groups, it seems to be that the traditionally prestigious schools like HYP get more opportunities than analysts from places like Notre Dame or UVA.
In west coast tech groups, however, I see a lot of kids from local targets like USC and UCLA and even random non-targets, maybe because all the ivy leagues are on the east coast. Is undergrad prestige as big of a deal for buyside recruiting in SF as it is for NY?
