How to move up
I'm a few years out of college and have been working in commodity operations/trade support for the past 5 years or so, most recently at a global firm, and looking for ways to move up into a more market-facing role. Not necessarily someone who's taking risk right away, but a very junior analyst/research role or something. I don't have crazy coding or modeling skills, honestly just the interest, drive, and product knowledge from my current experiences. I'm not here expecting it to happen by wishing, so I'm looking to gain the skills that traders and PM's view as valuable for someone who is coming from an Ivy or can code 5 languages. What would those skills be? Is it just knowing inventory flows, storage numbers, etc. and how they influence investment decisions? Any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated.
