Mining vs Transportation & Leisure for ER: which would you pick?
I've got a choice between the two for an internship, and have no skin in the game or particular interest in either. Which would you recommend? Will my choice here determine what sector I’ll be working in post-graduation?
I will preface this with I don't hate mining even though it'll come off that way. My view is you really REALLY have to love the space because it's niche, technical and quite dry.
You'll develop a knowledge of geology that translates into absolutely nothing else and the bulk of the analysis work will be specific to the sector. Sure they do DCF like NAV models and such but used to tear my hair out digging through reports for resource tables to do pounds in the ground type work.
Macro and commodity exposure is interesting but the day to day work is super tedious and dry. Digging through engineering/geology heavy technical reports, feasibility studies, drill results and the like is boring boring boring unless you're into that stuff.
The only cool thing is if you like super adventurous travel, analysts go to mine site to do diligence, typically middle of absolute nowhere. Could be the mountains of Chile, Botswana, Siberia, hell there's even one just shy of the North Pole.
Pick the best analyst. Then think about sector.
