I heard it’s a sexy scene.

Most of the IB scene in Texas is in Houston but Dallas still has a few great firms. The biggest groups come out of firms like Houlihan, Stephens, and Cowen which will all provide you great generalist experiences.

Firms like GS , RBC and JPM have small groups in specific industries (GS and RBC have a RE group and JPM has a few CRG bankers)

Jeffries has a secondaries group in Dallas

And I think maybe WB might have something too.Overall it's a great area but much smaller IB scene than NYC or Houston especially at the Junior level

Believe equities is pretty big there. Mostly ex NY guys

Lincoln has a small education group there

Covered above but biggest offices are HL and Stephens. Cowen acquired a boutique called MHT Partners which gives them a Dallas office now. More buyside opportunities in Dallas than IB and if you already have banking experience that’s the route I would go. There’s threads on the Dallas PE scene that you can find but off the top of my head there’s Align, Trive, Sky Island, Lonestar, Gauge, Insight, Kainos, Riata, Trinity Hunt and lots of family offices

Have a buddy that works at one of the MM shops in Dallas and he loves the group, culture, and city.

I started out there before the NE USA.

Great place and TX is great. No state income tax and everything is a bit cheaper.
