Top / Elite Houston IB Exits (Evercore)

I'm an incoming SA at Evercore in Houston. Would love to know how well it exits into NYC, and if I'd be pigeonholed into O&G/Infra PE even in NYC. Thanks!

You are not pigeon-holed. Most exits are to infra and O&G since people that go into Houston banking just like that stuff more. It’s also easier recruiting. 
 

Have had people from my bank to tech banking, tech infra PE, generalist NYC PE, more generalist banking, etc.

Just need to be able to say why such and such in interviews.

as an analyst you don’t get hired for industry expertise because you have none. Instead you get hired for your work ethic and technical skills.
 

If you want to get a more generalist experience, best to work more on midstream deals or OFS vs upstream. Midstream companies can have very complex financial models and the revenues are essentially volume times fees. OFS just makes stuff like a factory does so that will give you the more standard exposure to unit pricing and modeling. 

 

Thanks, I appreciate the response.

Would you say it’s difficult to move from Evercore Houston to a UMM/MF in NYC after an analyst stint (even in their infra group) or is it not too hard to do so?

Can I also apply full time to banks in NYC during my internship or will only Houston banks be receptive of a FT switch?

Lastly, could I lateral after a year at Evercore Houston to an NYC BB or EB?

 

Makes sense, I appreciate the feedback. I want to move to NYC because of family/friends located in the city, so looking to re-recruit for full time or look for exits asap.

 

Yeah that makes sense. Hate seeing people just leaving to PE just to leave.

That will make your case easier to transfer up there then since you have personal ties. 

 

Dude you haven’t even started the internship and already thinking about exits. Try to see if you enjoy the experience first….
