Hey [email protected], I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Commodity trading takes several years in operations to get a seat. Many folks never make it and become lifelong ops people.
Hey,
I made that move. There's no prescriptive experience time.
In my experience, as an operator, you are given the position, and your job is to optimise.
To make the move to trader, demonstrate you've clocked the operator role, and you have the abilities to trade, and have ideas to improve the portfolio.
