Quant @ Physical Commodity Shops

Just wondering what it's like to work as a quant at a physical commodity shop (big ones like Glencore or smaller regional ones), especially

  • What is the career progression like?
  • How transferable are the skills?
    • Will it be possible to jump to a trader role?
    • Is it possible to move to a quant role at a more paper trading focused quant (algo) role?
  • What would be a fair value starting salary incl. and excl. bonus and how will this progress?
