Global Market Sales; Current Industry

Hi Monkeys, 

Young chimp here trying to learn about the sales and trading industry (specifically sales). 

What is the current state of the industry?

What do graduate sales roles entail?

What is the 5-10-year outlook for the industry? 

What are the exit options from a global market sales role that doesn't include straight sales? 

I would greatly appreciate an answer to one, all, or none of the questions above, or just a ramble.

Thanks,

Monk
