Transition--Pit Trading to Office
Currently trading in an options pit in Chicago, which I really don't like. Is it worth it to look for an office-based trading job, or will that just be same sh*t, slightly different surroundings?

what dont you like about the pit?
Don't like the in-your-face aggressiveness, the lack of creative thinking or research, the instantaneous decision-making, and the stress of being absolutely on your toes all day to avoid missing an order. I'd rather work to make more informed decisions than just screaming my head off to get on a ticket.
