Enterprise is in our Culture
Worldstar is being built on the core principles of enterprise: teamwork, collaboration, initiative, quality and integrity. We believe practicing such values creates the right environment for our people to deliver results for our clients.
Inspiring Work
We strive to provide best-in-class advice and execution excellence on complex transactions in industries/markets which are usually energy, energy-related or energy-intensive in order to help our clients finance the growth of their businesses and/or navigate transitional challenges.
Lasting Impact
We are focused on being a significant financier and provider of capital-raising services, which, in turn, enables our clients to achieve their strategic and financial objectives. We also follow principles of co-investing with clients, where we can.
Enterprising Culture
Our distinct entrepreneurial culture is one of the things that set us apart from other firms. We expect everyone at the firm to be a contributor; no one is just an employee. This is why we make an unusual effort to identify and recruit people who, in addition to their intellect, share our commitment to leadership in business and to the communities where we work and live. A degree in business or finance is not necessary, but seeking out great opportunity and responsibility is. At Worldstar, everyone has a place at the table.
Calling Soccer Fans to Join Us.
We think soccer teaches you a lot about teamwork (and life!). We consistently scout for players who place the team's success above personal gains. We can train you on the rest (including competence).
CAREERS AT WORLDSTAR
We thrive when our teams are made up of people from different backgrounds, cultures, genders, education, training, interests, and skills. We believe you can thrive by joining us. As you consider your career options and review the available opportunities with us, please also read through our tips on what makes a great Worldstar candidate and how we approach the interview, the analyst programs and process and ultimately, integration of new hires into the firm.
APPLICATION REVIEW AND INTERVIEW
Our Managing Partner personally reviews each application and if shortlisted, you will have the opportunity to interact with him for about an hour where we encourage you to ask any questions freely without hesitation. Please go through our analyst program descriptions before scheduling your interview.
ANALYST PROGRAM - LEVEL ONE
Most new hires join our level one analyst program. The objective of level one is to immerse you into the science and art of investing whereby you shall be tasked to write an investment thesis on one of the several opportunities on the firm's "radar". At the beginning of this process, our Managing Partner will introduce you to research resources/techniques and thereafter handhold you over multiple sessions in writing your first thesis. Thereafter you shall be required to write one or more thesis, relatively independently, while still being guided and reviewed as intensely as your first thesis. Please note that level one program shall not be deemed complete and successful until you have written an independent investment thesis on a "live" opportunity satisfactorily.
ANALYST PROGRAM - LEVEL TWO
Successful completion of level one analyst program strongly positions you, though does not guarantee admission, into level two. The objective of level two is to provide exposure and immersion into a "live engagement" where Worldstar is advising it's clients. Since more often than not, Worldstar is advising clients on buy-side, the skills you learnt writing your level one thesis are highly valuable in level two. In addition to applying analytical and modelling skills learnt in level one, you now learn "on-the-job" through project work, daily interactions with senior team members and attending meetings with technical experts, investors, banks and senior corporate leaders/decision makers.
ALUMNI AND ASSOCIATES
Successful completion of our level one program and not being admitted to level two doesn't imply failure by any means. Level two involves client service and quick turnarounds on complex transactions with very little margin of error. Not everyone is cut-out for this. Many successful level one candidates have gone on to do amazingly well in other finance domains and we here consider them as Worldstar Alumni for life and are always glad to hear from them. Several WS-L1 analysts continue to bounce-off investment ideas and attend our informal meetups.
Successful completion and consistency demonstrated during level two implies you are special. Over many years of sustained level two performance, you shall be expanding your professional networks and see your possibility horizons grow multi-fold. WS-L2 analysts are our true Associates in that not only do we value their association with us immensely, but they also represent us and our values.
RESOURCES FOR CONTINUOUS LEARNING
At Worldstar, we identify learning as a competitive advantage and we are committed to helping our people reach the peak of their capabilities. We firmly believe in lifelong training and development and to that end provide several learning and training resources through our dedicated training intranet (login required).Apply
