What do you guys think about Citi and BMO Capital Market IBD, are these good places to work right now? What about their energy groups, are they solid groups that offer decent exit opportunities? I'm particularly interested in the two banks Houston offices.
I have interviews coming up with theses two banks, what should I expect in the first rounds? Are these interviews mostly technical or fit?

Not sure about the Houston offices, but I've interviewed with both. Both are very simple and basic interviews. Walk me through your resume, Why banking, why this bank, Walk me through a DCF.
Dealz, thanks a lot for replying. Since you've been through the process with these banks, which one would you recommend working for and why?
Didn't you get a FT from GS? You say that you had a full time offer from GS/MS in NYC and you are obviously from UT.
There is only one person that went to GS NYC from UT and no one went to MS NYC.
Why would you step down from GS?
I interviewed with Citi for their Houston office. It was a basic IB interview just like dealz said. As far as dealflow, they are kind of in the middle of the pack from what I understand.
