Advice please
I need some advice. I've been given the opportunity to join one of two groups.
One group covers industrials. Everyone in the firm says the bankers in this group are the cream of the crop - the best bankers in the firm. I have no interest in industrials, but I would love to work for these guys. They're very intelligent, and I think I can learn a lot from them.
The other group covers energy - something I have a lot of interest in. The banker is younger and somewhat unproven. He could be great, or he could suck - I have no idea. Previously, my firm didn't have an energy group.
Should I work with excellent, brilliant, proven bankers in an area I don't enjoy or should I work in something I have a profound interest in - given that I'd be working with a young, unproven banker?

Why is there only one banker
Why is there only one banker in the energy group..?
I'm not in IBD, but from
I'm not in IBD, but from what my IBD friends tell me, industrials is generally a good group where you'll learn a lot - defensive sector where there's usually steady deal flow. The energy group might tout itself as 'a new endeavour, ideal for entrepreunerial types who want to move up fast and take on responsibility quickly' but I think this is usually a euphemism for disorganized and uncertain. You want to land experience - at a junior level, I can't imagine sector would matter that much.
