Evercore Houston Energy Banking
Hey guys, I'm looking at energy shops in Houston and was wondering how Evercore stacks up against the rest of the EBs and BBs in terms of deal flow and buy side placement. I know there are a couple of existing threads out there, but Evercore doesn't seem to get as much coverage or the threads are just older.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Top in both. They're on everything and their guys place really well. If you get an offer, take it.

Arguably the best shop in Houston. Their pay is also higher than all the BBs/EBs
Houston plays an industry support role on RX transactions since O&G is a specialized industry. So you'll have Houston industry analysts staffed for support with NYC restructuring analysts. Pretty standard practice across the Houston EBs, Moelis is the only office I know that staffs RX in house.
the only shop where i would buy the argument that it is the best shop in houston overall. and i say this as someone who works at a different bank in houston.
great dealflow in all verticals and all boutique product types. if you have an analyst offer, take it 100% no question. if you have an associate offer, as long as the culture works for you (type-a, a little bookish, not a sweatshop anymore), take it. only other boutiques on its level are Jefferies and TPH imo.
for reference, the top BBs in Houston are Citi & Barclays. the choice between EB and BB is a totally separate question
im willing to take ms for this post bc it's correct. happy to answer any follow up questions.
