Do all the major banks have institutional FX/Bond desks in San Fran ?
No.
not fx/bonds, but hash pipes and rainbows are centrailized there.
yes
We have a lot of FI/Deriv/Equity/FX desks there for asian clients
Once again, the consensus on AF is clear. mar350 - We’ve got a hash dealing leprechaun out of NY, might be some opportunity to work with the SF desks.

Yes, with all the usual suspects, except for some reason calling it “San Fran” annoys the locals. They prefer “Frisco.”

You’ll get weird looks saying “Frisco”. -SF Local
Actually, “Frisco” is what it is commonly called. “SF,” yeah, but “San Fran?” Get outta here.
Funny SF story: first time I ever went there I was taking the BART from downtown to the mission and asked like 5 people which direction to get on. Literally nobody knew because nobody was from there. I saw a dude dressed as a clown and asked him. Sure enough, he was a “Frisco”/“San Fran”/“SF”/“whatever” local and directed me down the correct route.
