Big Oil trading VS Physcial Commodities Shop
What's the difference in style and strategy between the two?
I work in a major oil company's commercial arm in the Middle Office but I might have an offer coming soon from a major physical trading shop for a Middle Office role that might be an evolving role (eventually will be working on regression models for supply and demand for a specific commodity for the trader). This role is similar to the Deals Desk Analyst role at Trafigura..
I really don't want to leave my current position, mostly because I am comfortable. Would this be a mistake? Would I be passing up a significant opportunity?
Thanks,
one is more flow based and other is more prop
Big Oil has many more supply functions. Physical Shops are looking for arb/blending/basis trades.
I do FP&A currently for a trading group at my company. This opportunity clearly is better from a job description point of view but would it make sense leaving such a large organization with a well-established Commercial arm for this large Physical Shop (Houston office is very small but they're growing it)?
nope. Its a risk
Why do you say that? It's a more technical role with a known firm with growing office in Houston.
