Genuinely don't understand why people who know they want to go into tech PE/GE don't just recruit for tech banks in SF; sure, the city might not be as nice as NYC, but there are about 5-6 banks in the Bay Area that I know off the top of my head that has analysts going to all of the firms you just listed above. If your goal is to only end up at a top MF focused on tech (as you mentioned), and you're set on NYC, I'd suggest re-recruiting for FT for a top bank's TMT group. The path + story to a top tech MF firms is more worn from MS Media or GS TMT than it is from PWP industrials. Not that the latter is impossible by any means, you can get decent looks from most top EBs in NYC, it's just easier coming from a top tech group. Or even a mid tier tech group in SF

 

You've raised some good points, but I want to stay on the East Coast for both my analyst stint and once I enter PE or GE for personal reasons. I actually had a West Coast tech IB offer but turned it down. Looks like I might have to re-recruit.
