Evercore recruiting in Houston

Selected for a program/seminar at EVR HOU and was wondering how, if I was to somehow get an interview here, should I approach this process? I am not very well acquainted with energy and am lacking a good answer to "why energy" (would appreciate some insight as to how to answer this). I am primarily open to NYC but will not turn down Houston because breaking into IB is so competitive. Specifics as to EVR interviews in HOU would be greatly appreciated. 

 

I would advise against using your name when posting that you really don’t want to recruit for a certain locale because you would rather end up in NYC. Most Houston banks like to recruit people who bleed oil and intend on staying in the area.

 

EVR HOU (along with companies such as JEF HOU and TPH) asks very technical O&G-specific questions to weed out those who don't have a real interest in the industry. Why Energy is also a very key question given that they want to see why you want to enter a sector like O&G. Would be best to go through the O&G specific technical guides and primers to help prep.

 

I can attest to this. TPH is much less focused on energy technicals than it used to be but Jeff, EVR, LAZ, and to an extent GS still use them a lot. I would use the M&I page online that has examples of O&G technicals as somewhere to start. 
 

In my experience there were a few main O&G technicals I kept getting?

1. what is the value of using EBITDAX?

2. Can you order the 4 segments of the O&G space by revenue volatility? 

3. What determines OFS revenues?

4. What is an MLP? What are the advantages of an MLP?

5. Can you explain the reasons for recent commodity price movement? What is the current WTI/Brent/Henry Hub price?
