Morgan Stanley LA vs Menlo Park

Does anyone have any insight into these two offices? How does M&A compare at these two places? I hear Menlo Park has great tech deal flow, but how does the LA office stack up?

Thanks in advance!

Are you asking because you have offers? Menlo is tech so if you want to do that go there. If not, don't

Thanks for the reply. No I don't have offers; I am just trying to get more info on these offices. Thanks again!
