Houston IB: Truist vs SocGen vs CIBC

Recently laid off and fortunate enough to be in the later stages of recruiting for these three. Looking for any info on culture, deal flow and general sentiment around which is the best at the junior (associate) level. Thanks!

 

Appreciate the comment. Truist seems to be more upstream focused, whereas SocGen/CIBC are more midstream and power focused. Does it matter at the associate level where I am in the value chain? Agnostic about where I want to spend my career but I don't want to pigeonhole myself (e.g. upstream A&D) right now.

What did you do before? Power and oil & gas are separate teams - I don’t think you’ll be able to do both at any bank. 
 

 

Did 2 years of PF at a large bank, and most recently was in principal investing at a small fund in Houston focusing on MM infra/energy. Ideally would want to pivot back to investing in the infrastructure/clean energy space.
