Based on the most helpful WSO content, specific salary figures for Trafigura or Gunvor's graduate programs or middle office roles in Geneva aren't explicitly mentioned. However, for context, discussions around similar roles at trading houses like Glencore suggest starting salaries around 50k GBP for graduate programs, with potential increases based on performance and progression. Geneva is known for its high cost of living, so compensation is typically competitive to reflect that.

If you're looking for more precise numbers, you might want to explore further discussions or reach out to individuals who have gone through these programs.

They won't guarantee you shit because there is truly no guarantee but again, from friends working in the space, you will make a shit ton of money if you are good and or lucky, and for the average simpleton looking for a career in finance commods is one of the best proposition out there. If you want a range got some friend working at no name shops pulling 500-1m after 3-4 YoE. They probs started at somewhere around 100-150 USD all-in. You have to live in Geneva though.
