Curious to hear what exits looked like for your analyst class within energy IB.
How many exited the energy industry altogether? Did you feel pigeonholed when it came to exits? Thanks!

Anecdotal but I’ve seen a few people at my bank goto Project Finance or Infra Funds.
Also see a bunch of people go Private Credit, but this is due to our specific product/group, the vertical is Energy/O&G.
I've seen some go to Industrials. Probably some OFS reps would help with that

depends on oil/gas vs cleantech/renewables. although o&g is doing better right now due to policy, it is still much much easier to exit houston/energy if you're in an energy transition group or get staffed on renewables deals. not to say you can't exit energy if you're more o&g, but you'll need to be at a stronger group.
o&g non-energy exits tend to lean on the industrials/infra side, whereas cleantech/energy transition can get you more diverse looks generally speaking.
