Hi, as the title suggests, I'm looking to know whether a career in physical commodity trading is better than commodity derivatives trading or vice versa.

I'm currently working at a commodity derivatives trading firm. I can say that I know a lot about the way this side of commodity trading works, but have absolutely no clue about the physical trading side of things.

I may have an opportunity at a physical trading firm, not as a trader though, and I'm trying to figure out whether that career path would make sense or not.

Looking forward to hearing about experiences of people in these fields.

Do help a friend out.
