Thank you that is perfect.
models are very quant-heavy (heat rate, capacity, CFADS, etc), which is looked upon favorably by PE and H funds
since most of the activity in the space is around asset sales/purchases, you get a ton of M&A experience. The downside though is that the strategic scenarios are fairly consistent and not as diverse as they would otherwise be in groups like TMT and Healthcare (M&A, debt offering, IPO, etc)
you deal with a ton of different buyers: PE / infra funds / strategics like Dynegy, Exelon, Duke, etc etc etc. You learn how the same asset is pitched to different buyers based on the toll/PPA structure and the implied returns
if you're going to a top power group (Barc / MS / maybe JP), since there are considerably fewer potential clients, and since you're in a leading position in the space, you pitch MUCH less (cost of entry is higher for new advisors). Citi, for instance, pitches a ton. The downside again is that most of the deals you're on are similar (asset sales).
That's all I got. The rest should be based on group fit / lifestyle (hopefully, there's some "life").
