Seeing a lot of hate around PE fund exits on this forum. What are your thoughts on PE and investment team opps at the big commodity trading firms like Vitol / Trafi / Glencore / Gunvor / Mercuria? Understand comp might be top of the line, hours and culture good and progression great given hyper lean teams?
