I have currently been working for 1 year as intern at a major prop trading firm as quant analyst in gas and power (they do both paper and physical). It lasted 1 year since I was finishing my Master's at the same time.
I have talked to my boss who told me they plan to offer me a ft job as quant analyst, which will transition into trading role, which is what I aim for.
At the same time I always considered working for 1 year before applying to the graduate program at a major trading house or oil firm (Glencore, Trafi, Shell...). Since the application process is quite time consuming, I wanted to ask whether these graduate schemes are actually worth applying to, given my current situation.
