I have done my B.E.(Mechanical Engineering) and now I am doing MBA (Energy Management). Is it right to take Finance as my minor subject. What will be the jobs aspects and what will be the job profile for a MBA (Energy Management) graduate.
I work in Corporate Finance for an O&G supermajor so I think I can help you out. Granted I am an undergrad hire currently applying for my MBA but I have significant exposure to all types of O&G finance job because I have hosted MBA/UG candidates on interview day.
Our Finance positions consist of two major roles:
A) Controllers/Financial Analysts (top undergrads and 2nd tier MBAs) Do smaller scale accounting, business analysis, financial reporting, project analysis...you typically have 2-3 year rotational assignments in various aspects of the business since most oil majors are integrated (Downstream, Upstream, Chemicals, etc.) Every 2 years it feels like you are learning everything from scratch...Top performers have ability to become supervisors or move into Corporate Treasury
B) Corporate Treasury (1st tier MBAs..I know we recruit HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, Sloan, Booth, and Mccombs because it has a very strong energy Finance program). These jobs do corporate strategy, multi-billion dollar project financing/economics, joint venture contracts, etc.
Hope this helps.
