Starting a career in energy trading
Hi all....I am new to WSO and this is my first post.
I am looking for any advice on how to break into energy trading. I currently am getting my masters degree in meteorology. I also have a strong passion for the markets, and trade stocks, options, and energy futures. In addition, I am taking a few graduate classes in my finance department dealing witth derivatives and such.
A lot of energy companies/banks/hedge funds employ trade floor meteorologists ( esp. for nat gas trading). With my background and knowledge of the markets I would be a very strong candidate for this position. However, I am attracted to the trading side more, and I would still be using my own weather forecasts and bridging the gap between the in-house meteorologists and traders.
My question would be what types of positions would be available for someone in my shoes? Ideally, I am looking for an assistant trader position that offers a wide array of training. Would I be better off trying to work into the firm as a weather forecaster, and then transition into a trading role?
If anyone has any experience with this or any advice, it is greatly appreciated. Coming from a science world, it is somewhat overwhelming to navigate the financial world.
Thanks in advance
