Energy Infra Roles
Hoping some of you might be able to provide perspective on a situation I’m in. Currently, an associate in a project finance role. I’m really hating banking, but I have enjoyed the energy/infra sector. The good news is I have 2 offers on the table: 1) an analyst role at a top energy/infra fund 2) an associate role at a ~30 person startup developer focusing on an asset class/energy technology I really believe in. My issue here is that I feel like I’ve been chasing money and life is passing me by because of that. I’m fairly confident that I’ll be working more hours at the fund, but it’s definitely the safer career route and will ultimately lead to more money in the long run. Has anyone made the choice between a startup developer and a fund before?
I would take the fund role without question. You can get them to look at investments in that asset class, much more career security/optionality, and you can always jump into that type of developer role down the line but the opposite move is not as easy. If you turn down PE now you are very unlikely to have another shot
