Commodity Trading Prep Group - Graduate Programs / Majors
I wanted to start a group for people looking to break into commodity trading - either via the graduate programs at the merchants or your traditional supermajors (I went through one process at BP TDP myself so happy to share all the questions I was asked). This group can exchange networking tips / info but more specifically focus on technical concepts / skills / mock interviews to ace the technical assessments as some of this info is more opaque and not as open as your average IB guide nowadays. Places like Traf / Glencore are asking more and more technical Qs so looking to sharpen these myself and also help others with whatever I know already. If interested, PM me or comment below.
Based on the highest ranked content on WSO, starting a group focused on breaking into commodity trading is a fantastic idea, especially considering the technical nature and specific knowledge required for roles in this sector. Here are some ways you can structure the group and the types of resources and activities that could be beneficial based on what's been discussed in similar threads:
Networking Tips and Information Exchange:
Technical Concepts and Skills Development:
Mock Interviews and Technical Assessments Preparation:
Sharing Insider Insights:
Utilize WSO Resources:
Remember, the key to a successful prep group is active participation and contribution from all members. Sharing knowledge, resources, and experiences will not only help you but also assist others in the group to achieve their goals in breaking into commodity trading.
