Cargo - Tracking Intelligence Company (Commodities) Market Analyst Career Development

Hi Al,

I've recently been offered a analyst role with a cargo-tracking (commodities) intelligence firm (eg: Genscape, Vortexa). My role involves managing huge datasets, market analysis and sales support. What do you think of career development opportunities in this role in general? Thanks!
