JPM duh.
JPM no contest

Tough call. BAML In Houston doesn't do much upstream but as a whole they probably have the better platform. In London, BAML all the way.
BAML is better in midstream/MLP. In fact, they are probably the best midsteem BB, if not top two. JPM is better in upstream and A&D. Not sure about either platforms OFS practice.
That said, I would go JMP. It's a better brand name in Houston. There is nothing wrong with BAM, and no one is going to knock your resume if says BAML instead of JPM. But JPM is just better down in Houston. They have a smaller team, but do just as much, if not more revenue. Both good options, but JPM is the better name
Thanks for your thoughtful responses. Stepping away from oil and gas work, how about their power platforms?
Not sure, to be honest. I am much more familiar with O&G as opposed to power. I think BAML is a bit better in power, but that is really just me guessing. Someone else will probably have better insight on that one, sorry.

Pretty good group in NYC; recently poached three top MDs from CS which used to have one of the better power groups on the street

The two heavy hitters in the midstream sector are Barclays and Citi. BAML is probably in that next tier.

BAML stronger in NY, JP stronger in London
What would you prioritize? The stronger firm name vs group strength
Strictly in terms of buyside recruiting, I'd prioritize firm name above group strength.
I work in power so i can only comment on it. League tables suggest BAML over JPM. As others have said... Barclays and Citi are the two big hitters for power/utilities/renewables
Nobody who works in the industry considers JPM better than BAML (it's all the same). I work at neither.
