  • Solid arbitration and disputes exposure
  • Prior legal experience in metals or commodities trading
  • Commercial, deal-oriented personality

How is career has a energy analyst ?

I am a pre final year engineering student, I recently found out energy analyst job in companies like rystad energy ,wood Mackenzie. Here the job of a analyst is to track markets , policy changes in different countries, investments etc... As someone who has interest in everything and want to work on big things , this job seems interesting and it pays decent. I want to know am I missing something here because nobody is eager for these jobs, these are not the most sought after jobs in campus placement and I don't see any premiere college students working in these companies except SRCC . My plan is to do MBA after 2 years so I assumed this work experience is going to be valuable and help me get get into management consulting or investment management and related roles . Or is there any other job which I am not aware of except product manager ?
