Hello,
I am currently an accountant in an energy company in TX, focusing on gas settlement. I recently apply 2 internal positions: gas scheduler and FP&A. I work really close with traders and schedulers so I want to pivot my career to be a scheduler (I know trading team gets big bonuses yearly).
My concern is if I am a scheduler, will the career is really niche in the future if I am not talented enough to be a trader. On the other hand, working as a financial analysts gives me opportunities to jump in various industries if I am not happy in this industry anymore. I know some schedulers in my company stay at their positions for 20 years.
Happy to hear any insights about being a gas scheduler. Thank you all!
