Commodities Sales: Interview, Job, Career Outlook ?

Hey WSO,

Hoping to get some information on sell-side commodities sales (particularly industrial metals) roles. I have come across one or two similar threads, but they were a little dated, so I decided to kick a more recent one off here.

  • What can one expect from an interview at the more junior levels?

  • What does the role look like on the day to day? {Hours, travel, salary, is it interesting/varied, what are the challenges, etc.}

  • What does the career path look like (including potential exit opps)?

Your responses are much appreciated!
