Probably depend more on the team than the role

AMZL? People complain about lack of direction, but if you’re fine with upward management instead of expecting your manager to tell you what to do, you won’t mind it

Having worked with energy now for a decade, I find myself enjoying the craziness of it all: You're always two decisions (in Moscow or Riyadh) away from prices halving or doubling. War or no war is quite often a sensitivity, and adoption of EVs/renewables/biofuels will be between X and 10X. Find it hard to imagine doing strategy work in the less volatile/crazy domains - what could be more exciting than this 😋
