Physical Trading vs. Mkt Making
Hi All - have a job conundrum. US Based guy, early 20s
Facing 2 offers:
1- Jr. Trader at softs firm in EU - rotate through depts but ultimately the goal is for me to go commercial & likely have an abroad assignment after (Brazil, Africa, maybe US again)
2- Jr. MM at one of the Chicago prop traders in commodities
Both roles I would have to move and comp wise the prop shop is 2x the Softs firm.
Long term out look for an options market maker is not clear to me, while at the softs firm there seems to be a strong push to keep guys and develop them etc.
Any thoughts from commodity guys on the board?
I'd rather go physicals and this is coming from an energy market maker / prop trader.
Interested in knowing why would you suggest going into physical trading.
Is it because it’s better to have assets to back your trade and make money on the paper?
