GS NRG Houston vs UBS SF TMT

Do you know which is easier to lateral to NYC or to a different group/bank from? If I did GS I would want to lateral to GS NRG/Industrials NYC, but if I did UBS I would want to potentially lateral to another bank/boutique which might be harder because the GS brand is better than UBS. 

My reasons for not being 100% happy with either is mainly that I have no family or friends in Houston but know tons of people in SF. I also think TMT has way better exit opps than oil and gas in terms of my personal interests.

Lateral market is currently shit and no idea where it'll be in 2025. As you said, UBS TMT in SF will most likely have better exits, there really isn't much reason for you to pick GS O&G HOU unless you like O&G and/or want infra PE exits... both of which don't seem to what you want. As such, UBS TMT seems like the obvious answer, unless there's something we are missing based on the info you provided.
