I know both are pretty much top dogs in energy and have equally brutal cultures / hours. Assuming I only want to stay in Houston and am fine with energy / O&G PE exits, which one of these maximizes comp / exits? I heard GS pays AN1s around 120-140k and JEF is closer to 190k to 210k for top-bucket. Any insight?

Not much to add that you don’t already know.
Both known for bad cultures, both known for being good shops. GS has outside brand rec but Jeff has in-industry rep and much higher pay. That’s the consideration set. You’ll just have to decide.
Jef is a volume shop working on smaller deals in general. GS was just on the two largest corporate transactions in the industry. Both grind and have horrendous cultures.
BBs kinda blow ass for energy have met very few BB bankers worth a fuck in the energy space
This is kind of a wild take considering BBs / lenders have largely dominated this space for the better part of a decade and are on virtually all industry transforming transactions, in addition to all the debt and equity product deals
Any idea if there is a material difference in exits for Houston PE / HF?
Just pick the damn poison
