BMO Chicago or Moelis Houston

Was lucky to receive an offer from one and have a superday for the other. Was curious on the outlook of both firms respective of their region, the industry, culture, pay, exit opps, etc.

Know people at both offices and both offices don’t have great cultures. With that being said, Moelis Houston is one of the top shops for energy whereas BMO Chicago does normal MM work. Your choice will depend on your industry and geographic preferences.
