GMAT vs GRE for Houston post-mba investment banking recruiting.

I spoke with two separate RICE (Jones) admission recruiters, and both mentioned that for investment banking, companies often ask for GMAT scores. They also said that it’s still possible to take the GMAT even before recruiting.

Obviously, I haven’t taken the GMAT, but I scored 330+ on the GRE. Would that be a disadvantage? I’m sooo confused because everyone says the GRE and GMAT are treated the same for admissions. I’m not planning to take the GMAT. It’s an awful test designed to squeeze money out of students. Are Houston banks really asking for GMAT scores?
