I would love to join this group. I will be in Houston for the summer and it would be nice to connect with others in the industry outside of my firm.

Interested in contributing to this group. I have over 10 years experience in energy derivatives brokerage/trading - futures/options/OTC. Started up new desks in NY and London. Even worked in the crude and nat gas pits (sad to see them go). So yes, a bit of an older-timer.

Now do training related to oil and gas. Happy to field questions and help if I can.

 

The article below highlights a trend I've been pointing out to members of our learning community who ask me about getting into commodity/energy trading. As banks exit the business, a big entry point for new folks is closing.

This consolidation has also greatly affected headcounts at brokers that used to have every bank as a customer.

This is making spots in analyst programs at pure commodity players (Trafigura, Vitol) even that much more competitive.
