Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that the conversation about the compensation of an oil trader at a company like Vitol, Trafigura, Glencore etc. compared to one at a company like BP, Shell or P66 was discussed. However, the exact figures or rankings were not mentioned. It was assumed that the compensation was much greater at the trading firms, but this was not confirmed. The bonuses at trading firms are also assumed to be much greater, but again, there's no concrete information to confirm this. So, while these firms might be among the top in terms of compensation, I can't provide a definitive list or ranking.

Any ideas on how much they typically pay?
Vitol's London partners (~400) are on $5-7M
And this includes retired shareholders and are just the dividend payments. In commodities it feels like Vitol really pays the most. Average employee comp was also 800k vs 300-400k at peers (Gunvor, Trafigura, Glencore, etc.)
