Landscape of IB in Austin?

Hey monkeys, 


Looking to move with my SO to the Austin area post-MBA, we're getting married soon so life trajectory is pretty set on Austin. Curious to hear about the IB landscape in Austin — obviously lots of PE/GE players mostly (ala Vista), but curious to hear if anyone is familiar with the IB scene down there.

 

IB scene is mostly senior-heavy shops, off the top of my head I know Navidar has done some cool deals and Scaleview Partners I've heard good things about (both tech-focused). I know there are some other more O&G/Industrials focused shops, but if you're looking at banks I'd make sure there's upward mobility available given the headcount seems to skew towards MD's.

Pretty bad look if you’re at a target MBA program and don’t know there’s roughly zero quality IB shops with junior headcount in Austin. 
 

it’s Dallas or houston - take your pick

 

Depends on where you go to college. If you're in Texas then all of the Houston banks will target you. 

"Best bet" is anywhere you can secure an offer.

 

Vista is obviously big here and a few boutiques. Noticed Fortitude Adv has an open AN position.
Also back in March 22’ I heard that Lazard was rumoured to be opening an office in town but haven’t heard anything about that in awhile.
