Industry Groups and the future of Cleantech/Alt Energy
I am starting to prep for full-time recruiting season and could use some networking/group advice. I have a few questions:
Is it worth it to choose an industry/group that I am interested in and target people in those groups or am I being too specific (i.e. I should just try to target banks/firms)
What are some promising groups to be in right now? I am interested in alt energy and cleantech and have done my research but given the current economic situation, I'm not sure if there is much of a market for it in the next few years.
Thanks for the help
1) Did you do a summer somewhere? If so, and if you got offer, very plausible to approach specific groups. If not, better stick with banks, and then if things go well, to target groups specifically. Just getting in, especially in this economy, is helpful.
2) Cleantech/alt energy is interesting but the problem is that it hasn't really taken hold as people thought in the early 00s. Who knows what'll happen there. Healthcare, consumer, and materials all come to mind as defensive sectors that would be good moves.
It won't hurt, but get the offer first and then worry about groups. Different banks do group assignment differently, some just stick you where they need you and some offer rotation processes of varying intensity.
Clean tech is a weird animal, it's sort of at the intersection of power/energy, tech, and industrials. None of those groups are going to let you focus exclusively on clean tech, it's a pretty small sector. There will probably be a senior banker or group of bankers who are the "clean tech guys" and where they sit can be pretty arbitrary. Ask the power/energy people who runs clean tech and approach them.
