Current State of Energy Consulting/IB Jobs

Curious anyone’s thoughts on the outlook for CO/IB in the energy sector.

BIO: Experienced Petroleum Engineer with some third party consulting experience to Big4 and PE but little business fundamental background - incoming FTMBA c/o ‘22, looking to pivot to consulting or IB, still possibly interested in energy but open to change.

Looking ahead to OCR (if we are indeed on campus this fall) any rumorings or thoughts on the state of those disciplines in energy?

Are there any business 101 resources you’d recommend for someone new to business?

Thanks!

Management Consulting 7 Stories Review

“Daniel was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful in preparing my “Tell Me About Yourself” answer and seven interview stories. He went through my answers in great detail, providing constructive feedback and explaining everything very clearly. He always made sure I understood his suggestions before moving on. What I appreciated most was how he offered fresh perspectives and helped me better understand what interviewers are actually looking for. I gained so much from the session and really appreciated his guidance!”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“Ashley’s industry expertise and depth of knowledge in product strategy are immediately clear. In every session, she breaks down complex management frameworks into easily digestible insights. Her communication style is direct, clear, and empathetic. Rather than giving vague or generic career advice, she provides highly actionable takeaways—including specific templates for stakeholder communications, prioritization frameworks, and real-world examples from her own leadership background that I was able to implement directly into my team's workflow the very next day. Furthermore, her kind, patient, and approachable demeanor made it extremely comfortable to discuss tough workplace scenarios and honest skill gaps without fear of judgment.”
