ahpatsumUpon graduating , I really wanted to do grains/metals commodities trading (paper or physical) in europe/asia.

Ok. You got this: quote=ahpatsum large/Medium sized grain physical trading shop

This is close, but not in the location you wanted.

ahpatsumwhat should I do? should I accept any of these?

Is it more important to have the job or the geography?

You might be the pimp of Iowa. I don't know if that's worth much or not though.

Had that same job been offered in any major city, I would have accepted. But I get the feeling that exit opportunities from a job in a middle of nowhere city isn't so good. Do you believe it matters?[/quote] I don't work in commodities, so it would be hard to say. But I'll make a guess any way (take with a block of salt), I'm not sure if it would be harder to transfer from Iowa to the desired job in a different company or middle office at the right firm in the right town. It's usually not easy to trade up from back office/middle office to the most desirable jobs, soI'd probably take the job in Iowa. At least there you are getting the best experience. You can always get an MBA later if it doesn't work out.
