Is Project/Sustainable Finance Legit?
Current Sophomore at a target here. Interested in decarbonization, climate-tech. Had a coffee chat with alumni at a renewable energy investment bank. Was really impressed, thinking about going down this path. My questions are:
- What are the top names in this field? I'm aware of Nomura Greentech, what are others?
- Is this a common place to start your career? What are the exit opportunities like if I'm interested in private equity?
- How do I build project finance experience for interviews, what do these firms look for? Would interning at a local solar developer in finance be attractive? I have 2 consulting internships around electricity markets and climate-tech, does this look good?
Thank you.
