BP Houston vs BP Chicago
Unfortunately, BP only allows you to apply to one location. Really love crude but have spoken to people in nat gas / power and I find those to be incredibly exciting as well. I've heard the Chicago office is slightly easier to get in. Is there some truth to that? Is there a major con to being in CHI since it's far away from all the other top shops / relationships that you can have in Houston? All in all, just want to maximize my chances of getting in as BP is a golden opportunity that I want to seize. I want to be ready for when I apply in the future.
Anytime you try to "maximize" is when you lose out to someone with more passion and knowledge. BP is a firm that one can easily move around in their first 5-7 years, and almost encouraged if you make 10 years. If you really love crude, should go for that.
SB’ed - Appreciate the advice. Honestly, I would say I just have a genuine passion and hunger that’s generalized to the full spectrum of the energy industry - perhaps a bold statement from someone who knows ultimately nothing compared to an experienced trader such as yourself. Just looking to get a chance in the industry as I’ve tried for some time now. I genuinely think I would enjoy be equally happy whether that’s learning about the nuances of intra / inter state pipeline transport in the US, constraints, flows and the accompanying S&D that has driven negative pricing in Waha as much as the macro-driven swings of oil and the logistical side involving B/Ls, incoterms, etc. Power is also very interesting with learning about the physical grid, the RT / DA ahead markets, and it’s interaction with other commodities for generation. BP is solid for all these so whichever one would be willing to give me a shot is the one I’ll be more than happy to take.
Any idea how easy it is to move across desks / products once in the program? For example, let’s say you start in Chicago learning crude / refined but want to move over to Houston to try out nat gas
Bump. Also interested.
Likely not going to happen. Traditionally you get ‘accepted’ into the products program if that makes sense.
I see. So you mean whichever program you get into - Chicago or Houston - is basically the one you have to stick with throughout the duration of the TDP.
