What occurs during training week at BB SA program in S&T?

Hello all, I am expecting an SA role at a BB this summer in S&T. How in depth/involved is the one-two week training period in the beginning and what does it cover exactly? More general finance or mechanics of actual trading, etc? Thank you.

 

You should probably post this in the trading forum instead for better answers, but just some things I can comment on:

All training programs are different firm-to-firm. Hours are about 7:30/8 to 5:00 at most places. Exams include Series 7 and 63, others if you're trading commodities, futures, etc.

Don't worry about the licensing tests; they're a joke. If you're smart enough to get hired you should have no problem with them.

 
powertime:
What goes on during that first week of training? I have been assigned to commodities but will I actually learn much about commodities during that first week.

I am starting FT in S&T in a BB, but I would very likely miss their 4-week training program. Would that be a big negative. I am thinking about making it up next year, but dont know if that helps...

What you guys think?
