Comments on Lazard Houston

Can anyone comment on this office? Specifically in terms of deal flow and whether it's a good place to start out as a summer analyst/analyst.

I know Houston rankings are very different from NY, and I haven't seen anything detailed or recent on them. I know Evercore, Barclays, Credit Suisse, RBC, Jefferies are top in Houston, but how does Lazard stack up?

Would you rather take an offer there or at a NY MM?

Lol, famous last words.

I mean, ya, a pitchbook is a pitchbook wherever you go but E&P books are gonna be super technical with less commentary than your typical book. E&P modeling is also very unique, MLP modeling slightly more transferable but definitely still different.

OFS, OTOH, now that's transferable. Basically just O&G industrials.

 

Interesting. Why does Evercore Houston send so many analysts to megafunds and non-O&G PE then? I know they placed 2 at Blackstone NY last year (out of a class of 8 or so). If the skills are transferable to PE it must be transferable to non-O&G IB amiright
