Deutsche Bank Closes Houston Office, Cuts ~70 Jobs

*Reduction of investment banking coverage in the U.S. to seven sectors from eight
*Oil & Gas coverage banking is dead while corporate banking stays is moved to NY

Know quite a few folks at the office and have consistent heard negative things about the culture, pay, and work.

Thoughts, reactions, or comments?

 

Real shame. They'd been gutted over the past couple years but they'd still been placing junior guys at good energy funds. I like the guys that worked there but didn't get the sense that bonus time was a happy time and they weren't getting much deal flow.

I imagine that the decent senior guys will do okay and top bucket analysts should be able to lateral (hopefully they already had PE exits anyways) but I'd think that associates and VPs are the one that get really screwed.
