If the U.S. capturing Venezuela’s president opens the door to oil production and debt restructuring, do you think that actually creates new jobs (energy, banking, consulting), or is it mostly a win for investors without much impact on everyday workers?

It's a win for investors and the defense industry. That's it. The average person doesn't stand to benefit in any way i can see.

Ofcourse it does...Phillips 66 and Valero have refiners that can process heavy crude so there will be demand for people involved in transporting & refining the oil. Chevron and Exxon are integrated oil majors so they will also have an opportunity here. Debt will be issued for capital investment around the infrastructure needed so the big banks and investment banks will be involved in underwriting those.

There is massive benefit to humanity of abundant efficient energy.
To the extent gas prices are lowered, perhaps 1 cent, this would be a huge benefit spread across billions of people.
This is how capitalism works best.
Efficiency creates huge value we all share, in ways that aren’t obviously tangible.

It depends on whether or not there is an actual change, or if the leadership continues on the same path.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
If they hold an actual free election, then the gates could open and there could be a huge boom for them, and for our companies that help them/get contracts to help rebuild. Obviously it would also have a smaller ripple effect to companies that supply the companies that get contracts as well.
The average American will not significantly benefit financially from this.

It’s simply a way for American taxpayers to fund billionaire profits while killing innocent people and destabilizing the entire world. Instead of funding child healthcare or education programs, the Trump administration has decided to end renewable energy programs in flight and help Exxon make more money

Sounds great!

There’s good oil and shyt oil. Venezuela has shytty oil which needs a ton of refining and processing, considering the price of oil……this could be a giant nothing burger

Not really true at all.
US has huge refinery capacity to process heavy oil. The big uncertainty is country / political risk.
The oil itself is very valuable to America in particular.

It all depends on how things play out. It appears that the same regime will stay in place, simply without Maduro. Whether that accomplishes anything is a good question. It looks like Maduro was more or less handed over and all the military display was just a show to excite credulous Americans.

I future definitely but in present i don’t think so

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
