Does anyone have any updated thoughts on BAML's Palo Alto office?
The few threads floating on here about it are pretty mixed - there's one from 2012 that's super negative and one from 2015 that's decently positive. I know it's not MS/GS/Q, but how does it stack up to JPM/CS/Other BB/EB tech groups? I know they were on Salesforce/Mulesoft, so that's one indicator that it's a decent shop. Any insights would be appreciated!

Know some people there, heard great things about the group. While there are definitely better shops, it's still a solid firm. Downside is the work is split between M&A and coverage. Plus you're in Palo Alto, which can get old pretty fast. As someone who used to live in Menlo Park, it's not great for a young person.
SA or FT?
SA. There's a super day this friday
Ah gotcha. It's a dope office. Friend of mine works there -- good exits to VC/corp dev/growth equity.

Does anyone know what the exit opps. are for an analyst at BAML tech in Palo Alto? I'm referring specifically to PE and also Hedge Funds. Thanks for the help.

BAML tech has separate coverage and M&A groups. PE exits are much easier from M&A. Most go to tech focused MM shops. Megafunds are rare, although a few have gone to Carlyle and maybe a few to Warburg Pincus. No idea about hedge funds.
Which places better into PE, BAML tech (Palo Alto) or BAML TMT (NYC)?
TMT NYC probably places better than PA tech coverage, but PA tech M&A places best among the three.
Do you work in one of these groups or is this an inference you are making?
I work in one of these groups.
Elaborate on why you think Palo Alto tech M&A places better than NYC TMT (are you familiar with the TMT group placement)?
did you get an offer from PA BAML Tech coverage?>

Anyone have some insights into BAML Palo Alto office? Last posts about BAML PA was already 3 years ago. Interested in tech banking and would love to know the culture, strength and how it compares with other banks in the Bay Area.
