BB / EB groups in LA and SF?

Currently studying in a uni in CA (ucla/ucb/usc) Wondering what the best IB teams are in LA and SF, and how this compares with similar firms in Midwest or Northeast, although I’d most likely have the best opportunities recruiting for internships in CA. 

 

CSLA used to be top. One MD has stayed and is captaining what’s left of the group.

 

Barclays Sponsors: has a great culture and slightly less hours than other groups. They build the model for deals.

Kids typically have great PE exits because of the exposure you get with PE firms. 

 

Seems like LA has been covered. In terms of SF: GS TMT, CVP, Q, and MS FSG are a few of the better groups off the top of my head

 

LA:

Moelis LA and HL RX LA are regarded to be the best shops.

Barclays LA is also very good.

SF:

For tech: Q, MS Menlo and GS TMT are the top dogs. EVR Menlo and Lazard SF are also regarded very highly. 

For Healthcare: CVP and JPM are the leaders in the space. GS SF and Lazard SF are also very strong.
