Soliciting targeted advice

Hey,

I am looking to transition into commodities markets, in an advisory or trading role, within the financial services industry - IB, PE or whatever best fits.

Who I am and what I do:
I work in Germany, specializing in operations and sustainability consulting - working in particular with the metals industry. I have been here for 2 years now and I am looking to move.

Why?:
I plan to do my MBA or an MSc. in Finance at the end of 2014 or early 2015 but want to gain some insight and initial experience in the industry prior to that.

What is my background?:
Apart from the current job, I have done operational traineeships - one at the supply chain department of a multi billion dollar Indian automotive manufacturer and one at a medium-scale manufacturer

What roles and places would you advise me to apply for, that you think might best suit my profile?

NOTE: I've attached my resume, in case you could have a look at it

Cheers and thanks, in advance,

Arnav
