As a Houston Banker this is my guess:
- Moelis, Evercore, PWP
JPM also pays well, have seen mixed things on Jefferies recently. I also believe MS comps well but don’t have any solid datapoints there.
But just FYI for the intern OP - u shouldn’t solely pick ur firm on pay. This varies drastically YoY and culture is more important.
Cheers
you're a troll. JPM gives $10k bonuses to analysts. and nobody in houston calls them PWP - it's TPH
