Best Houston banks for culture / hours?

With Houston recruiting in full swing I thought this thread could be useful. It seems like the consensus is that all the BB’s and EBs will position analysts pretty well for the same exit oops and it’s much more tied to your individual performance aptitude than where you’re at institutionally. This would indicate to me that culture is really the best way to make a decision so you can at least somewhat enjoy your time. Thoughts?

 

I would generally agree with the above but note that Evercore probably depends on how much time you spend on midstream (more is worse for your life).

Regarding the OPs comments, i dont think any of those places have changed much with the exception of Simmons. and even that's more on the securities side due to overlap with Piper. Evercore is the same, Jefferies is the same, TPH is the same (PWP thing isn't going to matter until they take it all public in a few years), Moelis - no idea what they were or what they are now.

Suffice it to say i promise every BB in Houston has changed more than any of the boutiques.
