jefferies, evercore, goldman, jpm all on top (mostly o&g and also ET for jefferies).
rbc, citi, tph, barc, all good as well. moelis is good for cleantech stuff
Almost accurate. Would take barc off (group head left and it looks like some of the team left with him). TPH also always gets talked about but they have recently been pretty quiet in terms of large deals but they will always have smaller A&D deal flow. Jefferies is good if you don't mind heart attacks by the end of year 1
Here's a list to start from

Jefferies
Any insights on how well each shop comps?
Any boutique will naturally pay more than a bulge in HOU (and anywhere else).
I have heard that BofA and MS had some pretty low total comp, GS/JPM pretty low comp for their level of deal flow. Citi decent. RBC should be good from a deal flow perspective, energy is one of the arms that carries their IB. Heard JEFF used to pay good bonuses but kind of fell off now (especially since they are hiring 15+ person analyst classes). EVR, MOE, TPH (PWP), GUG, GHL all pay above street (again, naturally for a more boutique shop). No clue on PJT or HL (weird shops in HOU).
what in the world is the deal with jefferies houston, heard insane bonus numbers from the past (literally think cvp/q level comp), and now they're all of a sudden back to being normal?
also saw stuff about there being some weird structure now with how analysts can be comped highly with certain agreements, whatever that means, but not much about it here. wondering what changed
