BP Energy Trading

What's the typical compensation for a recent graduate?

How is that different from other energy trading shops? (i.e. hedge funds)

Good question

After going to an energy trading simulation BP held in Chicago, I applied for the position. But I doubt they make as much as hedge fund analysts. Anyone have more insight?

Would you mind private messaging me some details on this program? I'm interested in it myself

I'm not really sure what

I'm not really sure what hedge fund analysts make - but after a couple years, I hear at BP base sal is roughly 90k, and a bonus of roughly 4-6% of book profits. That's if you're a trader with like 3-5 years total experience. I'm not sure what their "Analysts" make.

I know for BP Canada, they make the same salary as a banker/trader at a bank. The bonus is much lower, I beleive 10-15%.

A lot of hedge funds trade

A lot of hedge funds trade only paper (referring to the non energy funds), which forms only a fraction of their universe of tradables.

If you see yourself trading energy (and want to specialize) for the long term you probably want some experience in physical.

Glencore is a good shop for energy, but from what i've heard abut new hires they slowly expose you to the business and build you up.
