Energy/Oil & Gas ER still viable?

Currently debating on whether or not to take an offer for an associate seat for Oil & Gas ER. Reading about the banking side of things a lot of people seem bearish about the future of the industry, but I've gotten more optimistic takes from people I know on the credit side. Personally I am not incredibly interested in Energy but have been looking to move on from my current role into sell-side ER, is Energy esoteric enough where after ~2 years it would be hard to lateral to a different space even if its within Industrials/Materials?

OP said they are not interested in Energy in general. Sure you can pivot since all energy has the same "macro trends". But when it comes to technical skills/valuation, figuring out the IP, lifecycle of shale well which is a finite resource is much different than valuing a hydro storage facility or solar farm. This is why most of the new combined bank renewables groups come from industrials.
