<p>When it comes to McCombs, we dominate houston investment banking. A majority of the top tier investment banks recruit here at McCombs for Investment Banking(Evercore NY, Greenhill & Co, Lazard, Goldman Sachs) but they usually only take 1-2 people max over 300 people apply so you really do have to be the best of the best unlike Wharton where they take multiple analysts, but I am not saying its impossible. There are plenty of other Investment Banking postings on the online recruiting system for other cities like DC, Chicago, Milwaukee, etc so there are IB opps in other cities at mccombs</p>
<p>BHP will help a lot as far as getting you interviews because its the BHP name that sort of singles specific candidates out but keep in mind the interview is every man for himself. What’s funny is that this year more regular McCombs BBA students received investment banking offers than BHP students but that could just be from lack of interest from the BHP side. That aside if you guys are seeking Wall Street, its going to be really tough but if you put forth the best preparation for the process it won’t be a problem. </p>
<p>As for other job opps in finance and accounting for OP, there are a plethora of good companies that recruit for finance. As you know we also dominate the Accounting field as we are the #1 school for Accounting so all the Big 4 recruits here from all offices (Denver, Dallas, NYC, Boston, etc) and they take multiple people (10-20). We also have a good amount of Fortune 500 companies that recruit here if you are interested in Corporate Finance or other fields like Asset Management. So if you decide Investment Banking is not your thing you’re still in good hands as far as other options. It all comes down to you working hard, utilizing McCombs great resources, and preparing for the recruitment process hardcore.</p>
