what you trying yo do and where?
O&G Trading primarily, either for an E&P firm or shop, or O&G equity research. In Houston. Bascially anything in the O&G field outside of operations.
I graduated from Tulane with a degree in Finance (Energy Specialization) so I've been itching to put my education to better use.
have you been applying for jobs? any luck on interviews? have exp? when did you grad? gpa? are you in houston now?
have you been applying for jobs? --just beginning to. been working in corp finance for 9 months for a F500 Finc. Services company and want to get into the energy industry. As I mentioned earlier, I had an offer to work on the Arch Coal desk that was rescinded due to a hiring freeze.
any luck on interviews?
--not as of yet. just starting to apply and want to know which companies to target.
have exp? --participated in Tulane's state-of-the-art Energy Trading program- traded O&G on simulated exchange while I was a student
when did you grad? May 2009 gpa? 3.2 Cum; 3.5 Finance are you in houston now? I have a residence there, but not currently.
So do you want to do trading or banking? You've had several other posts asking about banking...
Very interested in both. I'd just love to be in the Energy industry in some function, whether in IB or Trading. Whichever I break into first, I suspect, will be the career path I go down. I have equal exeperience (albeit brief) in both O&G Equity Research and Trading and quite frankly, enjoyed both equally.
your post:
So what would you do at this stage to break into IB? I've considered the following options:
-Pursue the hell out of boutique or middle-market banks if the big IB's won't recruit me. -Pursue an MSF domestically next year, and rely on alum network? If so, what are realistic options you'd consider? -Pursue an MSF internationally next year, and try to break into international division of IB. If so, what are realistic options? -Let things play out, work in finance for 3 more years, apply for MBA, break into IB as associate.
my reply
nothing in that mentions energy trading or houston. So lets not waste any time here. good luck in your banking search... JP, CenterPoint, GE and WF are all adding to their investment banking/corp dev teams
I'm not in the field, I'm just weighting my options; I don't see why this is such a bad thing. Considering this website is entitled Wall Street Oasis, and we're talking about a totally different industry, I'm shocked to think you think I'm being disingenuous about my interest in the field. I didn't even find this group until a short while ago and its the only one I'm a member of. If this were Energy Trading Oasis, I'm sure you'd have seen my interest much earlier.
If you can help me out; I'd certainly appreciate it. Don't knock me because I'm curious about different things.
