Houston Banking from California School?

Currently a sophomore at a California school. Strong presence in west coast offices, limited placement outside of west coast. Have never see anyone from the past 3 years place into Houston, but may be self selection.

Am curious how difficult it would be to recruit for Houston offices and if anyone had insight into how the process differs from west coast processes, as well as how much specialized knowledge is expected for SA processes, particularly considering I don't go to school in Texas.

Would also be curious as to who the top players are currently, or any resources to learn about O&G banking.

Thanks for this. Could you speak a bit more about the timeline? When do the first banks kick off and what did the interview timeline look like for you?
