Q&A: 3 years software development to Power trading analyst at a supermajor

Hi..long time lurker, wanted to share some of my experiences going from software development (.NET c# and SQL development) and into a front office, trading analyst role on the power desk of an energy supermajor (bp/shell). for folks that have untraditional backgrounds (studied engineering, comp sci, etc..). Happy to explain how I made the switch after spending 3 years working in software development and what parts of my skillset helped me land the job and what my daily day-to-day looks like. current career path is moving towards power trading, which looks to be likely in the next few years. anyways, ask away!
