I have an interview at Trillium coming up. Does anyone know what kind of questions to expect? Does anyone know how much the average trader makes (including bonus, I understand everyone is paid $25k salary) as both a first year and then a few years down the line? Thanks for any and all information you can give.

shorttheworld was one of the few people who I messaged who not only got back to me, but also was working as a trader! super nice man and really helpful. is it just me, or are most of the people on this site either unemployed or students? don't get me wrong... some of the posts are very informative, and some of the members unbelieveably helpful, but you have to wade through piles of nonsense written by students or recent alums who know next to nothing (like me).

Eh, I feel you, but you gotta understand. The only people that have time to talk shit on message boards, for the most part (not that there aren't exceptional people that are super helpful), are people who are either unemployed or students. It is the way it is.

I hear you monkeysma, I just find it strange that the people who post the most negative comments "So and so isn't what it used to be", "ABC isn't 'all that'" "QWERTY is a scam" don't respond to questions asking them to elaborate, or when pressed for how they know in a private message, admit that they don't work there, never had worked there and don't know anyone who works there. This site could be super useful if more people in the know posted comments.... but I guess they are too busy making money. LOL

Yeah I know what you mean. When people who have never worked in banking are all like "This BB is WAAAYYYY better than your crappy BB" I'm like, "You would be lucky to work at either you idiot!" But you DO have to watch out, because there are scams out there. I've been told by a lot of people who do know a thing or two that if you have to pay to be in a trading firm ("Give us $5000 to start trading!") they are almost surely a scam. The firm makes all its money by your initial outlay and screwing you over on fees. Trading can be a real lucrative career, if you go with a reputable firm and turn out to be any good at it.
in terms of berts comments i
in terms of berts comments i guess sure that prop trading is a lot more slow and grindy than the come in and do nothing and make big money like it was when i started, i was still able to put up around 14k of PNL this week so thats ~8400 take home.... granted i wont be able to kick that out EVERY week if its slow but even if i put up a g a day through putting together small trades still end up taking home a good amount of cash for the month.. but also im working
so no it isnt the days of walking out 10k in cash a day like in sept or oct 08 when everyone was killing but still money to be made. so i guess 'not what it used to be' may be true but the market isnt what it used to be which is what id base it on... and we arent chopping people left and right like schoenfeld or folding like assent so if you look at a lot of the other big players in the game we are doing well and our systems were one of the few able to handle the stress of the may 6th flash crash and remain up so we could trade and chop it up
sooo ya lemme know what questions you have either in PM or can phone convo
I need a crib, a big estate, I need a boat and that need a lake, I need some salmon that need a plate, that need a chef so I feed my safe

Again... shorttheworld is a class act---responding thoughtfully to a person who signed up a week ago to sh*t on 3 firms, all of which, based on his barbaric treatment of the English language in his previous posts, would presumably never hire him.

That can't be deducting taxes, though.
