Hello all,
I am a senior in college, and I've been thinking about going into prop trading for career. I currently work in AM, and I like the job, but I've always liked trading as well. My question is, how would I effectively get a job in prop trading if I haven't had an internship in it? Is it impossible to make this move. I apologize if any questions are ignorant.
Thanks in advance.
