Certain Houston banks do M&A. Jefferies, TPH, Evercore all are heavy hitters in the space, although yes, a lot of BBs crutch on their balance sheet to win business.
Should also note that Houston is a known sweatshop, and top banks in Houston have as good a work life balance as a Malaysian kid in a nike factory.

dude if you were already able to get a F500 WM internship as a freshman I think you're going to succeed no matter what. just keep grinding and doing what you're doing and i can assure you'll be successful.
try your hardest to transfer into the business school and leverage the resources there, but if you can't/don't get in it's not the end of the world, economics sets you up very well career wise and you can definitely get into most finance roles with that degree.
best of luck in your future!
Plenty of kids break in from lesser known schools that don't even have a business school. Sounds like you are growing a network so try to keep those contacts warm for early 2024 recruiting for SA25. You have time if you keep this pace. I don’t think the business school will be a dealbreaker for recruiting. I was an economics major at a non-target and it turned out alright.
On location, you should pick based on cultural fit. I personally love working in finance in NYC, but I also grew up partially in Texas and understand the draw to work in Houston. Take networking seriously and see if you can get involved in an office visit. It's the best way to tell where you really want to be. I started my career in San Francisco and it's a night and day difference from other finance cities (honestly more of a techie city like Austin and Boston). Are you involved in the finance club?
