GS Houston vs Jefferies Houston

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?

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.
