Any energy law attorneys that can provide insight into the value of certain experience leading into other areas of energy law, or whether it will be niche? Specifically, Dept. of Energy enforcement division, trial attorney. Being told it's not niche, but I'm in employment lit now and want to be in energy/enviro. lit/project finance. I know it is a big jump, so I'm trying to weigh options regarding gaining experience and I have no one to ask/no alumni who have done that track.

Consider looking into a transfer or detail to FERC, specifically at the energy markets section of OGC. That would be a good springboard into the energy/power markets regulatory space. Put in a couple years there then transition to a firm doing energy regulatory & renewable project finance work.

This.

DOE Enforcement is definitely niche, but that sounds like awesome and valuable experience that would translate to many other energy roles. No clue by what you mean "lit/project finance"... As a project finance attorney, if I'm working with a litigator, it's usually because something has gone terribly wrong.

Knowledge of the industry will always translate because energy has such a long learning curve. But the practice specifics are so different that I don't think DOE enforcement experience will be helpful to getting your foot in the door in transactional project finance. M&A, deal work, or even real estate (a la project development) would all serve you much better to get where it seems like you're trying to go.

Capgemini has verbally promised me 9 LPA but the offer is yet to be released.
Deloitte India has not yet communicated any offer, neither verbal nor formal.

I am more inclined towards joining Deloitte India as it is a bigger position than Capgemini.

Am I on the right track?

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy.

I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
