SF PE On-Cycle

Curious about the SF PE landscape and hoping to get some tips for on-cycle. What are some solid UMMs and how do they compare to MFs? Can you recruit SF easily if your at an LA EB? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

My recommendation is be prepared to interview before you hit the desk, you can recruit for SF UMM easily from a BB/EB but they will still fly out to NY for the majority of their recruiting so you need to have a targeted list of shops that you mention to HHs that recruit in SF.
