I was curious how attractive doing a year or two in operations of a big physical player plus doing a year or two working for the IEA or EIA would be for admission to a TDP program (Shell, Noble, and Trafigura are the only three I can think of with a route-to-trader program).
Really, I'm wondering if working for one of the information agencies would give you a competitive advantage over a pure operational background?
I know it may be hard to draw anecdotal instances of this, but from anyone who is involved with recruitment for a TDP anywhere, do you think it would be looked upon favorably?
I suppose the same logic could be applied to working for the USDA and trading ag.
FTR, I'm not asking about graduate programs, I'm asking about route-to-trader programs. Please no answers from college students. Thanks a lot.
No.
Unless you somehow get the EIA data before, which would also be highly illegal, you won't have an edge.
