Very few offers for associates (there are only one or two spots open i believe), they keep their shop relatively small even with the recent geographic expansion. They said they were going to be conducting a few more interviews this week so it's not like they are a BB with 20 spots to give for the year. No idea about their other applicants, but looking at profiles UT and Rice and Tulane heavy, they do on campus stuff with wharton and NYU also fwiw

 

Generally speaking the BBs SA classes in Houston range from about 6-12 SAs, and leaning towards the lower number at the good shops.

In terms of boutiques I would imagine probably on line with that or possibly fewer depending on which boutique. Tudor is big time down there. I know guys that had offers from BBs and yet couldn't even get to their superday. Pretty selective bunch.

 

12 was including S&T. I know IBD at one BB that had 6 SAs along with 5 S&Ters. I'm sure it depends on the deal flow and if they actually do everything in house or push it up to NY to get the shit done.

 

Tudor Pickering is the shop to watch-- big deals flowing, great work culture, and cool people running the show. I have a friend who turned down a job in NYC with GS to work there.

 

No trolls in this thread. If you want a true energy investment banking experience (in terms of not having to outsource anything to NY) there are only a few shops that offer that. TPH is one of the most highly regarded I-banks in terms of energy.

TPH and Simmons are solid banks. Right there in the discussion of top energy i-banking in Houston. Right in line with CS, Barclays and JPM. Maybe CIti borders that with the move of the UBS bankers, but that is something to be decided upon...

 

Actually, if you like at their profiles, none of the associates were analysts at TPH.

And I agree that some trolling is taking place here, no matter how good it truly is.
