for ib, i believe TPH does traditional o&g/energy and PEP does energy transition only. also TPH has been around for a while whereas PEP is a spinoff (Pickering) and is relatively new 

 

TPH in Houston is a household name and now is acting more like a coverage group sitting under PWP. Probably the 4th best independent advisory banks behind JEFF, EVR, MOE in Houston

PEP is a merchant bank that does primarily LMM deals. It was founded by Pickering who built TPH from the ground up. Good momentum but not a household name

 

Do you know if PEP comps in line with street? Interviewing for an analyst role and their comp range for base seems to be 85-95K, which seems low.

 

No idea but saw some material from them it seems they were constantly on some $10 million PDP Non-Op deal. Would not be surprised if they pay below street
