Houston is weird. To be honest, the bank you are at is a lot less limiting than NYC (that's to say opportunities will come your way regardless of what bank you work at), and it is almost entirely on you based on how you place. Obviously, I think there's a tiny leg up for being at one of TPH/EVR/MC/LAZ/GS/MS (basically the places the rest of this site, for better or for worse, holds in high regards), but after that it's on you.

Don't know what the second part of your question is asking, but due to geographical reasons most of the non-energy funds people go to are in Dallas for the most part. Energy funds are usually in NYC/Houston/Dallas.

It's been a while since I've been through recruiting, but that's what the landscape used to be like. Curious to see if anyone else has any additional information or if this is still the case.
