Career Resources
I too am looking for the lifestyle PE bank.
Currently work in PE in NYC and I know TX scene well. I don't think there are any scaled WLB shops
Second this. The PE scene is small to begin with in TX, you might find some tiny LMM with decent WLB but any of the even slightly larger / barely into the MM shops are known to work you.
Houston IB is well known to be incredibly sweaty as you seem to know yourself OP, so if that is your talent pool and who you grow into senior roles, you're not likely to create strong WLB. If you are burnt out, I would look outside of PE. Lots of interesting, well-paid roles where you get some control of your life back
What roles outside of PE are prominent in Tx?
Texas guy myself, there are lots of roles along the lines of S&T, private banking especially, lots of corp dev/strategy jobs at energy companies in Houston specifically. Dallas probably has a more diverse set of finance jobs compared to HTown but it seems a lot of my Rice/UT/SMU pals who burned out of IB/PE are in private banking. If you’d be willing to switch to consulting, there are a wealth of opportunities across the Triangle. The only traditionally “top tier” tech jobs like Dell and Google are all out of Austin
