Boston vs California (buyside)
I'm primarily interested in buyside opportunities, and don't want to live in New York. how do you guys think Boston and California (LA or SF area) would compare for buy side opportunities?

If you're including venture / growth (definition broad) then I would say California > Boston (SF Bay Area > Boston > LA). Becomes more even if you take out venture and early stage growth.
LA/SF is from what I’ve seen better than Boston but there are quite a few mid sized firms there. LA has some good firms but maybe not as many as Boston but the ones that are there are very good (from what I’ve seen). SF is probably slightly lower than NY but there’s no difference in terms of quality in my opinion it’s more of a lifestyle choice. Tons of people go SF/LA after NY banking. Personally I’m working in LA PE but don’t think that there are that many other firms here from what I’ve seen (big names and all) but there’s definitely room for lots of deals.
for what? L/S, quant, PE? Buyside is too general.
Sorry, should've specified, either asset managment or PE, not VC.
If you're looking at hedge funds, CT probably has more than either Boston or CA
General asset mgmt: Boston.
For PE with HC/Biotech focus Boston.
