How to become a (institutional) trader after age 30?
I'm curious about the path to work as an institutional trader trading on behalf of the big banks, funds, prop funds, etc.
Could you use an MBA to pivot into this career field?
Are there traders on the institutional side that aren't quantitative? I've seen job postings for traders but a lot of those postings have to do with quants/programmers (ex. Jump Trading, Two Sigma, Optiver).
If anyone can direct me to any WSO threads, that would be nice as well (Google isn't giving me the exact info I'm trying to find...)
Much appreciated for any advice :)
Certainly, breaking into institutional trading for major financial entities involves a strategic approach. An MBA can be a valuable asset, providing a well-rounded financial education and potentially opening doors in this competitive field. While many institutional trading roles are quantitatively focused, there are non-quantitative roles too, such as sales trading or relationship management. For more specific information, exploring threads on Wall Street Oasis (WSO) could offer deeper insights. Keep networking and seeking advice from professionals in the industry to refine your path. Best of luck!
