Based on the most helpful WSO content:

1. Position Differences: LA vs Boston

   • Los Angeles (LA): The culture in LA investment banking groups is generally laid back and supportive of private equity (PE) recruiting. The technical interviews in LA are more intensive compared to New York (NY), with a focus on modeling and paper LBOs. The process starts early, around April.
   • Boston: While specific details about Boston are not provided, one user mentioned concerns about the nightlife and lifestyle differences compared to NY. Boston may not offer the same late-night activities as NY, but it is still a vibrant city with its own unique culture.

2. Interview Process

   • Technical vs Behavioral: For LA, expect very technical interviews, especially for roles that are modeling intensive. Paper LBOs and other technical questions are common. Behavioral questions will also be asked, such as "Tell Me About Yourself" (TMAYS) and "Why LA?".
   • General Tips: Know the M&I Advanced Guides and BIWS 400 Technicals thoroughly. Practice your 70-second story for TMAYS and ensure it sounds natural.
