Comps in commodity trading
Hi everyone,
I am an undergrad student almost last-year.
I do love commodities as they are the blend of different aspects which do intrigue me.
However a major aspect for my career is the compensation.
I am based in Europe, and for what I have researched commodity trading has huge upside more than investment banking or private equity.
However I would like to understand if the life as a commodity trader is a job which give you the possibility to live affordable. It seems like the first years on the desk the compensation is really low.
So as I am figuring out which master would be better for me either a master focused on commodity at a lower tier uni such as university of geneve or a higher tier uni but with a focus on economics/finance so that if the comps is low I can pivot to asset management maybe with focus on emerging market which is closely related to commodities.
