I Feel Lost in Life. 3 Years Later and still Impossible to Break Into Front Office for Commodities

When I graduated three years ago, I stepped straight into a commercial role at a major physical trading house..a leap many only dream of. At the time, I didn’t realize how unprepared I was for the intensity of that world. Just 10 months in, I was let go, deemed not the right fit. 

Since then, I’ve pivoted into the energy sector, but found myself stuck in a middle office confirmations role ..work that feels far removed from the action. Even after all this time, I still find myself replaying that first experience. 

It’s hard to move on when nothing since has matched the pace or challenge of that environment. im 30 years old now and feel hopeless despite all the front office interviews i have given..almost as if no one even cares that i came from such a prestigious shop. 

Does anyone have any genuine advice on what to do? MBA? quit this industry? i am lost.
