BB In Philadelphia

Posting this thread to see if anyone know what the best branches of big investment banks in Philadelphia are the best ones to work for and what their hiring patterns are for SA. I know most of them are PWM but just wanted to get a feel of what is available.

Yeah as far as BBs go, Goldman has PWM downtown, MS has PWM (I think downtown?) and FoF in the burbs, CS has PWM in the burbs I believe. I think RBC has some pubfin downtown.

Here's a boutique/MM list I put together last time somebody asked about the Philly scene:

City proper: Janney Montgomery Scott Stifel (small office) Mufson Howe Hunter Baker Tilly Capital MidMarket Capital Advisors

Suburbs: Fairmount Partners Boenning & Scattergood SSG Capital Advisors Bryant Park Capital Delancey Street Partners Marks Baughan & Co Falcon Capital Partners Griffin Financial Group Capstone Partners

 

Also, for what it's worth, there's a decent amount of BB branches in Wilmington, presumably for tax reasons. That being said, I don't know what sort of finance they do over there.
