Apologies in advance if this is an uneducated post but can be good for educating how NOT to recruit😂
Currently working in crypto options mm, was looking closely into switching to energy commodities just because of genuine interest in the space.
I have a Russian background and a fair bit of family friends involved with Russian and African oil, as well as fair bit of funding from my current job to do different types of trading related research.
Curious these kinds of little things (connections, language knowledge, communication) can give some unique edge to start working at a physical shop and preferably skip 5-10 years of being an analyst given I have trading experience?
