-: The opportunity to, there's always something
lent to learn.
The market's are always moving.
There's always something new going on in the markets,
where, you know, it's never, the market's
are never staying the same.
Whether it's you know, weather in New England,
or you know, something going on in D.C.
that's affecting the prices, or something global
that's going on that's affecting prices for oil.
That then, you know, cascades down into,
you know, electricity prices in the Midwest.
So that's a really interesting piece of it.
The other piece is being able to help companies,
I know, to walk in a boardroom with a Chief Risk Officer
and a CEO and say, hey, I think that this is worth this.
This is worth a certain amount, and here are the problems
you're going to face.
And they're listening to you and taking you seriously
on this stuff.
So that's a pretty neat part of it too.
Timelines can be very short.
I've had questions that are post to me, that,
you know, probably that the answer is a good two weeks.
And I have about two hours or maybe two days.
And the hard part about that is,
you want to answer the question,
because it's somebody who is going to spend
25 million dollars or some number like that,
is a fairly normal, once a month kind of thing.
And, not being able to answer that question
in a robust way is kind of rough.
So, you want to get them the right answer,
but also on time.
So, a lot of times, you'll get a request in,
but it's just not feasible to answer their question.
So, that's the toughest part about the job,
I guess, is timeframes, not having enough data,
not having enough resources to answer all the questions
you want to answer.
