Hi energy fish, I’m currently in the process of breaking into the energy industry. My education is in energy engineering but I got sidetracked. Now, what is better as a pivot point for later exits and continued career path in energy: A) joining Guidehouse in the energy team or B) joining a T2 in the energy team or C) joining MBB as a generalist but network my way into energy work? TIA ❤️

Late reply, but in my experience I’d strongly recommend taking a T2 or MBB track. Guidehouse’s brand in energy is nothing compared to Navigant’s and the internal environment is chaotic due to extremely high turnover. Further, the vast majority of work is in the utility and government programs space (vs. strategy, corporate procurement, etc.), so if that’s not your cup of tea it may not be a fit. The exits are definitely nice, but I imagine you can find similar or better exit options in energy through paths B or C.

Happy to talk more, but best of luck on whatever path you choose!

Happy to chat, I have represented professionals from all mentioned businesses.
Could Evan throw in a few other potential businesses to consider

If you are passionate about energy, you should join Guidehouse. You’ll be put on projects that are very relevant and innovative and still work with big clients. You don’t know how long youd have to network your way at MBB. I think the learning is unmatched and there are great people.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm.

What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
