Texas is just Alabama but with oil.

Really shows you how profitable oil is.

Both have robust fishing, agriculture (specifically cotton), aerospace, defense, military, healthcare, cattle, shipping, automotive manufacturing, steel and mining industries.

If Texas didn’t have oil and busy border with our number one economic partner, I’d wager their GDP per capita would be similar to Alabama’s.

Edit: Texas does have a much more robust tech sector than Alabama, but other than that, still pretty close sector wise

Why not? They should launch a Rhode Island fund at the same time and see how they both do. 😂

They should do a California one, too. And that’s speaking as a Texan

They do; MACMX, CALI, CMF. They are all municipal bond based

I'm at a smaller MM bank. My original goal was to start here and hustle through into a BB, but I wasn't expecting to really like the people (my team, my direct seniors). I think the work we do probably wouldn't differ a crazy amount (we close deals, just smaller of course) and I'm wondering if I really have a reason to try to move into a bigger bank.

When calculating YOE, if you are working 2 jobs, can you double count those years?

So it’s not like driving Uber, it’s a high stress/very involved job. Technically I have 7 years Active Army + 5 years D + 5 Years reserves if I count them. Don’t know if there’s any practical reason just curious peoples opinion
