I'm gonna start this by saying I've only worked in Power and Energy coverage for M&A and ecm/dcm transactions so keep that in mind. But I'd say it is Power and Energy M&A becuase the modeling from what general consensus is and my opinion, is that its some of the hardest to do in all of IB and in general. On top of that the actual assets you are dealing with are things like Power Plants of all different variety (gas, oil, renewables). There are also variations of gas power plants CCGTs, CTs, steam turbines, etc which all have there own nuances. Then you have energy such as midstream O&G and utilities which are always interesting. The technical terms for all of these assets are also very mechanical engineering based obviously, which I personally find very interesting since before college I was weighing on finance or engineering. 

 

I agree on that point. There’s also a ton of technology in the energy space. Specifically, OFS is a technology and engineering based business. Upstream valuations have to take into account geology, decline curves, price sensitivities. Midstream is interesting but I find it to be the least stimulating. However, downstream and power seem super intriguing but I haven’t touched those sectors. Tons of nuance in the entire energy industry.
