Career options from commodity market makers

Hello

Starting out at a market maker at an oil desk this upcoming september after I finish University. I hit the desk a month or two after I begin. Was wondering what career options lay ahead? The desk is only OTC (so not much interaction with exchanges) and I would like to get into something more involved, like prop shops or maybe HF? 

Any input is appreciated :)
