Commodities Trading Advice/Opportunities ?

Hello, I am an incoming FT commodities trading analyst at a BB. I was wondering about how lucrative this role is, what are the exit opps, how shoe-horning this position is (I've heard mixed opinions), and whether I should aim to join the Oil & Gas team or the index team once I start (my goal is to make money and challenge myself).

Also, any general advice would be great, thanks!
