Starting Power and Gas in Utility

Got an offer for a rotational analyst from a utility at their Houston office. The firm has mostly natural gas power plant, so they trade a large amount of both power and gas. The base salary felt low even for entry level, but I can live with it for the experience. What is future exit for this kind of role, do pay get significantly better after the rotation, and what's the possibility of moving to places like Vitol/Mercuria/Macquarie/Tenaska? I did search on LinkedIn, but didn't find many people that went to those places.
