Can add some color:

SF: Purely technology- (software, semiconductor, hardware, advanced mobility). In-house M&A modeling with exposure to lev fin, sponsor deals. UMM exit opps are doable with a history of several MF interviews each year. Works with NY on some deals and sometimes brings in M&A bankers to help on deals

CLT: tech enabled services group and aerospace and defense group. The TES group works a lot with NY and deal flow there is solid. Can't comment on culture. Charlotte is more defense and government focused while NY is more aerospace.

DC: used to have an ADG group but it closed down.

Boston: i know they do IB, but not exactly sure which groups - maybe tech/HC? Someone else can chime in.

 

Richmond Office is Transportation and Logistics. Very small team but with two of the best MDs in the space. Solid culture but seems like they put in a lot of hours. Split from a former BB&T group with the other half join Piper Sandler.

 

Houston is strictly energy. Jefferies is a top group in that space, to the point their bonus pool has become separated from the rest of the firm. Mostly upstream work which can be a pro or con depending on your goals and energy outlook. Comp is excellent, and with no state or city tax and LCOL city, might be the best net deal on the street. Hours and culture are brutal.

 

Definitely no P&U presence in Houston. Some Houston teams have recently started covering clean energy/renewables - typically just a new vertical, not a new group, so you'd work on that alongside regular O&G staffings. Not sure if JEF is doing that at the moment, but either way your bread and butter coverage would be oil and gas, with an emphasis on upstream/A&D.
