They are the world’s top commodities and mining traders. Being their trader is not just a matter of time. They have many trading departments, each engaged in different transactions. The most common of these is the arbitrage trade between futures and spot. Traders are divided into several levels. The low-end one only executes instructions, while the high-end one is analysis and decision-making. The specific time will depend on the person's talent and opportunities. There will be no level-by-level promotions like those in ordinary foreign companies. Only by creating profits for the company can there be opportunities for promotion.
If you can become a successful TRADER, you have a bright future. There are a lot of options when it comes to job-hopping. Including hedge funds and investment banks. Derivatives departments of large corporations. Etc.
Of course if you are really a successful trader then you can even dream of becoming Soros. Of course it is only a small probability event.
If you are a newbie in the workplace, congratulations on your opportunity to join the world's most feared commodity trading giant.
Trafigura has a large business in non-ferrous metals and fuel oil in China. There are traders in China because they want to conduct hedging and arbitrage transactions in the domestic futures market. Their non-ferrous metal positions are mainly operated in the Shanghai mid-term seats (haha, I can’t break the news anymore).
