Compensation at supermajors and physical houses for traffic and traders

Was wondering what one would expect to be paid on the traffic desk at a supermajor oil firm and at a physical trading house such as Vitol, Glencore, Trafi on any product desk.

Also, I know it varies quite a bit but what would a junior trader earn in salary and bonus at either the supermajors or physical houses. If anyone has an idea how bonuses are calculated that would be great.
