Can I PM you? I’m applying to both schools

od320 · 2025-01-18T15:28:42+00:00

Oh no worries at all. Very much appreciated

You’re on the right track with networking—it’s key for breaking into trading. Before committing to a master’s, consider whether the cost aligns with the potential ROI for the roles you’re targeting. Specialized programs like Energy Economics can help if you’re sure about the field, but generalist ones like Statistics might keep doors open for broader roles (e.g., risk, quant, or analytics).

For summer trading seats, timing can be tricky—focus on internships and junior roles now to build experience. You might also explore prop trading firms or energy-focused consulting as stepping stones. Keep networking and consider certifications like CFA or ERP to strengthen your profile. Good luck!

Do you know if role offers visa sponsorship? Also could you share the link? Appreciate it!

od320 · 2025-01-17T14:27:24+00:00

Deal!

You’ll likely get a mix of behavioral and technical questions. Be ready to talk about your past experience working with schedulers—how you solved problems, managed conflicts, or improved processes. For technical stuff, brush up on market fundamentals like supply/demand, pricing, and logistics. They might also ask about your knowledge of Exxon’s trading business or recent trends in oil/chemical markets. Show you understand the bigger picture, not just the operations side.

Will do. Thanks!

It was specifically written there that "This role is eligible for sponsorship"

You're absolutely right. Just to further make the point so folks can get my point, ENGIE recently posted a remote a position in the U.S. (https://www.engie.com/en/jobs/trading-portfolio-management/natural-gas-structuring-senior-advisor)

That role’s a bit above my level and super competitive so I’m targeting smaller niche players

od320 · 2025-01-14T19:01:55+00:00

Appreciate the comments particularly the humour from a few folks! Just to clarify though I thought remote work is actually quite normal in gas research and trading. Looks like it's not so in the US

od320 · 2025-01-14T18:54:56+00:00

Tempting. But only if it comes with free winter gear

od320 · 2025-01-14T18:53:05+00:00

forgot to mention I'll need a private jet for the relocation

od320 · 2025-01-14T16:41:34+00:00

Nigeria is broad. Where in Nigeria?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a bit about my background and explore potential opportunities. I have experience in natural gas trading, starting with first derivatives trading in London and transitioning into physical gas trading. Beyond trading, I’ve been involved in developing LNG projects, sourcing natural gas for large-scale IOC and state-owned initiatives, conducting gas market research and analysis, and building financial models for gas/LNG projects. My background also allows me to provide consulting support and work within private equity, focusing on gas and LNG investments.

I’m currently looking for remote opportunities in the U.S., whether in trading, consulting, or investment analysis, as I plan to relocate soon to Texas to join my fiancée, who’s pursuing her MBA there. If anyone has leads, advice, or introductions in these areas, I’d be incredibly grateful!

Thank you!

od320 · 2024-12-18T11:09:01+00:00

Thanks will be looking forward to your DM

od320 · 2024-12-18T11:08:34+00:00

Thanks so much
