Oil & Gas Drilling Engineer to Investment Banking in Oil Gas
Hi, I am a Chemical engineering graduate working as a Drilling Supervisor for the second largest oil company in Pakistan. I have 5 years of upstream experience heading field operations. I have always been interested in studying Finance and Management.
I recently took my GMAT and scored a 650 and I hope to function in the Oil Gas practice (Upstream) in Investment banking after my MBA but I feel that it is very competitive especially considering that there would be candidates with prior IB experience, CFA etc.
I need advice on the following queries: 1) What roles do IB working in the oil gas sector have in particulars (In terms of the work that they do)? 2) Which investment banks generally have a solid/larger oil gas stream? And do they prefer people with prior technical experience? 3) Is it necessary to have some Finance experience to break into IB?
Hoping to hear back on this :)
