Oil analyst to hedge fund

Hey guys,

I live in canada can likely realize this salary potential (albeit in a few years) compared to this job posting (see below). I imagine the salary potential longer term is much higher but I'm also curious on what bonus potential at a shop like this would be? I can't apply to this right now for various personal and professional reasons, but this is the sort of thing I'd look into longer term as I'm currently doing exactly this kind of work on a fundamentals basis (except slightly longer term strategy focused vs shorter term pure trading focused)

Any idea on these kinds of jobs at other hedge funds?

Do you work on a marketing / trading desk for a big integrated or midstream company or are you a corp dev type guy at an E&P or energy "deal shop"? Looks as if they guy they're looking for will have a lot of commodity market making experience and is probably heavily quantitative and much less fundamental if at all.

Given that it's in CHI they're looking for a guy who's been moving in and out of energy positions instead of digging through fundamentals based commodity market timing.
