Prop fundamental equity desk

Prop fundamental equity desk or a risk arb desk. Not sure what banks have a risk arb desk but I know goldman and citi do. You know much about risk arb? Its pretty interesting.

equity prop trading in Asia

Any idea who BB has the largest and most established fundamental equity prop trading desk in Asia?

wow

that is a sick picture. I've seen up to six screens at one desk, but 16? Does more than one person use that desk? That's incredible.

depends on a HF , but

depends on a HF , but generally sell side trading and buy side trading are different.
If you're on a flow market making desk in a bank you may not be of much value to HFs. Experience on a Quantative Strtegies or Structuring desk may be more valuable.
Prop trading desks experience is more directly transferable to HF, since prop desks are small HFs within a bank ...

Holy Crap
