I am thinking about hosting a two day bootcamp in Houston that will include the following:
Resume Review
Internship Search Tips
Interviewing Tips
Netwroking session with HR's from leading energy trading firms
Mock Internviews
Various materials on industry
Any interest?
I might be interested in this, except for the HR's from leaving energy firms.
corrected
ahh if i was in houston i would come but im in ny
round trip under 300
haha my ex-girlfriend is from houston she would probably be furious if she found out i came for this but not to see her lol
why do you give a fuck what your ex gf thinks?
well put monty, well put
I'm interested! When and where will it be? Have you decided yet?
Interested
I assume this is aimed more for juniors than anyone else? I'll only be a freshman this year, but I'd be very interested in a year or two if this ever became an annual thing.
I want to help anyone that is seeking help. Fresh, soph, junior, senior, grad, masters, mba, etc etc
Again it will be energy + investment banking + investment management etc etc
Working on location but Houston , Philly, Chicago, nyc?????
I'm interested.
What is the proposed timeline for this workshop?
spring 2011 before internship interviews..
thinking people can fly in friday... have some sort of night cap.. then all day saturday..
thinking maybe $100-$200 for students and $300 for non students...maybe some sort of special for first 50 or something
I say NYC... :)
where ever we can get a following it will happen.
I will be there.
hoping for a little more from you bud
If it's in Houston, I'll go for sure. If you do host it there, I know for sure I can get a bunch of students.
pm me
Haha, sorry.
When this thing gets going on I will be there and speaking on a couple topics at the very least (still undecided as of now). I will be able to bring a couple industry people from my end as well as anyone in my network. I would imagine some 1 on 1 resume review, directed and personalized networking advice, Q&A on anything you guys would want, etc.
Let me phrase it like this. I paid $250 to have my resume redone a couple years ago. Probably the best money spent in a long time. If Monty is targeting the $200-300 range I think this would be an incredible value.
I think what might spice this up a little more is some type of dedicated help for people who come. I would happily sign on to help anyone who goes to this thing long after the event. Basically 2 days of presentations, networking, direct advice and then after it is done with a direct email for continued follow up. Look at it like a spring board for anyone starting out and a continued development as things go on.
i agree on cont help even after event.
chatting with Anthony the other night this idea came up... anyone that knows me well will agree that once i get an idea I am rather obsessed with it. So last 48 hours I have been emailing possible speakers and calling places to hold such event.
get to houston and we will work rest out even if I have to pick you up from airport myself..
I might be able to make it to a future NYC thing (might!). Would trading be covered too, or is it just IBD?
i am a trader
Oh yea. Sorry, I should've seen which forum this was in. My apologies.
Will there be steaks, texas bbq, poker nights, booze, and trips to some of houstons finer adult entertainment areas....
If so I will come...I take it you would be inviting my firm's HR to this shindig? I would be glad to answer any other questions people have about the physical side of things.
anyone that makes it friday night and over 21 can enjoy the hiring practices enron once enjoyed... also the scene of me getting two JP mogran energy guys fired...
i think i may host a small forum with just monty09 stories.. i have some great ones that have thus far cost 4 people their jobs
where enron took their mba;s to close the deal:

If your already working its pointless
tru, was jokin around. Do tell me though if end up needing someone or others to talk to about the physical side in terms of opportunities, strategies and paths to a desk.
Pm me and tell me what you do and well
Monty & Anthony were both of great help to my internship search this year. Spoke on the phone with Monty and he gave me some great advice which was much appreciated. Anthony also gave me some great guidance during my process so anyone that signs up will not be disappointed.
NYC would be a fantastic location, however I would consider flying out just to be able to attend the seminar.
Sounds interesting. I rather like the idea of the ride from the airport, too.
I'd like to see what develops out of this.
i would like to do as much as I can to make this happen. Maybe I can get bunk beds on my first floor for folks
I would come if it is in Houston. Hell, I'd come just to hear your stories. I'd probably be able to get people to come with me too.
Any chance of a European version of this? :)
^ I'd be interested in this as well.
lets knock out houston first... then if we can draw a crowd may try another city..
if we can not get more then 50 it may not be worth it
I'm Canadian but from the value I've gained just from monty's posts this would be a worthwhile opportunity and I'd gladly by down in Houston for this kind of workshop. Interested to hear the details....
[email protected]
email me if your interested...
I am going to start emailing college finance clubs so if you are a member please send me correct person to email.
I am also working on a flyer to detail some of the things we will touch base on.. again this is for you so if something you would like to learn more about.. please do speak up...
Monty, if you have the time, I'd appreciate answers to any of the questions on the trading group. Thanks so much! :)
I saw them and working on them now. I got the email last night but wanted to think more before sending you feedback
Ah great! Thanks loads! Take your time no rush :).
I would be interested in this. Monty was gracious enough to speak with me over the phone one day and gave some good advice. I was under the impression that Summer Associate recruiting started in the Fall though. Im looking for internship in Charlotte and Full Time anywhere. Would there be contacts from the Charlotte area?
I want to say no off the back from do know some WF people locally that may be able to help
I cant make out the beginning of your post but if you know some WF people let me know and I will contact them.
I want to say no off the back BUT do know some WF people locally that may be able to help
Hey Monty, shot you a quick PM, hope ya dont mind.
Thanks

If we are graduating in June, do you see value in attending as we are all looking for FT rite now as some of us were not SA's. Im interested so send me a pm, although im just not seeing if this is a good idea if im graduating in June 2011 rather then in 2012. Looks like im a year late to the party

your call. Vaule is in what you put into it not timing. I did not get an energy job until almost two years after UG. End of the day you may not end up in your dream job come June 2011 but that should not mean you stop dreaming.
monty, i'll be attending the energy rodeo but have a quick q first. what are the areas in energy trading that you'd guess will be hottest and best to start a career in out of oil, coal, ng, power, emissions, renewables, petrochem, and anything else i left out? so that if you were 3 years away from graduating, lived in the Houston area, and hoped to get 1-2 energy trading internships before then, what areas of energy would you be most be targeting and what companies would you most be looking at to intern/work for afterwards?
Looking at the recent developments in the field from an outsider perspective, it looks like ng or lng is where most of the new action is. Energy companies are betting big $$ on unconventional ng. The world ng market is still fractured into the Hub based US market, shizo euro market (a battlefield for pricing) and the crude oil indexed asian markets and the old structures are getting shaken up it seems. But again, that's an outsider perspetive.
i have seen money flown out of projects as fast as it is flown in...
been thinking about this and really cant say.. when I started in 06 i was given teh choice of power or carbon.. everyone told me to take the carbon job.. TONS of growth... well I ended up taking the power job after meeting the manager... turns out that carbon market is still in "growth" stage... so I am the last person to tell you what will be the new new thing as michael lewis likes to say
To refer to liar's poker: As long as you don't end with equities in Dallas, you are fine. Carbon is not really a product either, it's legislation that makes it something to be traded and thus is very dependent on random political decisions. In Europe the market has produced tons of fraud scandals and often the market has been bipassed by just giving so many free emission tickets to companies they don't need to buy any extra anytime soon.
