Oil/Gas project finance vs FoF vs Bloomberg support
Hi all,
Ultimate dream is equity buyside (pensions, etc.) or PE investing. Probably 70%/30% prefer AM over PE.
Prior 2yrs experience in IBD so comfortable in modeling. Moved to consulting, got laid off due to downsizing. Currently have a few offers, yes...none are ideal, but seeking advice.
1)Project finance at junior oil/gas firm doing really intense models. 2)PE Funds of funds. 3)Expert/sales/helpdesk at Bloomberg.
For equities buyside, would the Bloomberg job be the best? since its closest to the equities desk, following news, and helping equity analyst/traders with models, functions.
For PE investing, would the FoF be the best? since I get to talk with GPs/LPs. Would the FoF also be best leeway to buyside equities since I get to talk with lots of pension firms? Though not much corporate modeling.
Or would project finance be the best since the models are really intensive. And potentially could go into oil/gas equity research. However, there would be little interaction with buyside or PE firms and i'm not sure how transferable PF skills are.
I know, none of these are good and longshot to what I want. But need income now. Which role would be most attractive?
What do you mean by equities buy side? Do you want to be a stock picker or work as an insitutional investor (pension) like you hinted at in your post.
by equities buyside I meant an investment analyst who evaluates stocks for a portfolio manager at an Asset Management firm.
Ok, that's not a pension fund just fyi. Pension investment teams do FoF and AA type work. So if that was what you wanted I'd recommend the PE FoF. I think help desk for Bloomberg is the least beneficial in getting you to your goal. Project Finance will probably be the best to set you up for becoming an equity analyst because you're modeling and will gain industry knowledge. None of them are surefire hits for equity analysis so I'd pick whichever you are most interested in doing.
