Any trading openings?

Any opening or firms hiring that any of you are hearing about? Hoping to break in soon, since my opportunity to break in on the Arch Coal desk was killed due to a hiring freeze a year ago to the date.

Any tulane grads in here?

 

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 As I mentioned earlier, I had an offer to work on the Arch Coal desk that was rescinded due to a hiring freeze.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.

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.

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.
