How would you rank the following firms? Wells Fargo Financial Sponsors (NY), RBC Tech (NY), USA Advisors (SF), FT Partners (SF)

Hi guys,

Need to make a decision soon for analyst role. Either deep in the process or have offers from the following:

Wells Fargo Financial Sponsors (NY), RBC Tech (NY), USA Advisors (SF), FT Partners (SF)

Want to be in the west coast long term but don't want to compromise on quality of firm and exits. My thoughts were the following in terms of reputation on the street:

  1. WF Financial Sponsors
  2. RBC Tech
  3. FT Partners
  4. USA Advisors

Would also appreciate any feedback on FTP and USA. Didn't think much of FT Partners given their reviews on this site, but they've recently been gaining a lot of traction with some big bn+ deals and I saw that their founder Steve Mclaughlin just got interviewed by Bloomberg so now unsure where they stand.
