Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that the timeline for associate recruiting in Houston and Austin can vary, but it typically starts around the second year of an associate program. However, the context doesn't provide specific details for the 2025 timeline.

As for which shops to target and how certain funds have performed in the past, I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help?

Remember, it's always a good idea to reach out to professionals in the field or use the WSO Company Database for more specific information. Good luck with your journey!

What industries and fund sizes are you targeting? Houston is going to be heavily focused on in energy. For tech, Vista is the large player in Austin, but there are several smaller firm and TA recently opened an office.

 

Same account here…. Who ever will take me! Currently doing general middle market M&A, so open to anything. Ideally want to land in Houston, location is top priority. Have a strong interest in PE

 

For Houston, most of your opportunities are going to be energy or LMM buyout. I would figure out which one is more appealing to you first, as they are two different career paths and energy has its industry-specific long-term drivers you will need to get comfortable with.
