Jefferies - Houston Energy Group
Does anyone know the details regarding Jefferies' Energy Group in Houston? I would like to know more about 1) compensation for analysts, 2) deal flow, 3) future outlook, 4) overall culture of people there, and 5) exit opportunities. Also in regards to exit opps, how supportive are the senior bankers in helping you place into PE if that's the route you wish to take? I know there's a lot of bashing on Jefferies on WSO for some reason, and please reply only if you have valid information regarding this specific group and can give unbiased opinions.
you get paid a lot if youre good
I hear they suck.
Deal flow decent. Used to do all Chesapeake stuff. McClendon is gone so that may change. Hours brutal. Placement ok.
Jefferies M&A/HC/Energy Exit Opps (Originally Posted: 03/04/2014)
Hi all, pretty sure the aforementioned groups are the most elite at Jef, please correct if wrong.
Anyway, what are exit opps like from these groups? I heard hc and energy are sweatshops, but any chance at the megafund jobs or even large mm shops like lindsay goldberg? Thanks.
so without chesapeake in the picture, there's not too much going on?
also interested
Interested as well...interviewing soon
Jefferies energy sent an analyst to KKR a while back and seems like it sends analysts to the bigger energy MMs on the reg. This is for Houston btw
^That pretty much sums it up. They're infamous in Houston for having terrible hours, but they seem like a pretty cool group of people (based on my limited interaction with them). I believe they have had placements into Denham recently, and sent a guy to KKR a little while ago.

What is the word on the Jefferies O&G group in Houston? They've had some crazy deal flow as of late with the XTO/Exxon deal, Shell/East Resources deal, etc... Is it in the same category as Barcap/CS/TPH/Simmons now, as far as energy groups in Houston go?
If they could keep it up.....
Equities in Dallas...
Jeffries sucks
Jefferies is a great group. They have excellent deal flow and have done some kickass deals. As a native houston-ite i can tell you they have been around, and will be around, for some time. One of their Senior VP's spoke at a club meeting and from his insight; they have above average compensation and of course a work till your drop expectation.
bump
phone interview wiht Jefferies houston SA IBD (Originally Posted: 01/26/2012)
I was just notified of a phone interview for their energy group in houston. What should i expect? do they usually ask a lot of technical questions or fit/behavioral? as for the industry, im going to read up on the recent M&A in that industry, PwC industry reports and stuff but im not very familiar with the oil industry. any suggestions?
oh one last thing, they mentioned that its going to be a conference call with ppl joining in and out.. and the interview is supposed to last for an hour or an hour and a half.. wtf? is this common for jefferies 1st round?
thank you all for your time in advance!
That sounds pretty typical, and expect a pretty technical interview. My experience was split 50/50 between technicals and fit, with one guy asking most of the technicals and another asking most of the fit.
I'd definitely brush up on their recent deals (they were on the Apache - Cordillera deal) and whats been going on in the industry, but I don't recall them asking any industry or company specific questions. But it's a good chance to show-off your knowledge with follow-up questions that are related to this.
It is a typical energy IBD interview in my experience. People are very down to earth there.
For deals, you should look up some shale deals that office did. Good luck, Jefferies' energy group is absolutely murdering it right now.
Thank you all!! i really appreciate your help. i guess im just weirded out by the prospect of having people join in and out during the interview... and it seems way too long for a phone interview haha. anyway thank you all again
They did the Devon GeoSouthern deal today
