Is specialising in oil and gas going to be detrimental long-term?
I have a chance to become fully specialised analyst in oil and gas and mining at my firm (I work in B4 valuation). This will involve really good work exposure, rewarding bonuses and good travel experience. Our clients are nearly all SWFs. There is potential for some companies to expand into renewables production but that's going to take some time.
However, in a world of ever increasing ESG regulations and hostility towards fossil fuels, I'm worried if this is just going to be useless experience on my CV long-term. The modeling skills for example can be deemed useless if O&G is purged. I just started working and my main goal is to get as much transferrable skills as possible in order to jump into other fields (IB/ER/AM/PE... etc). I can still do work in other fields like financial services and tech, so it's not like I'll be jobless if I say no.
