3 Year Crypto Vet Looking to Potentially Switch to a Prop House
What's up guys,
It's been a few years since my last post on this site, but here's a quick breakdown of my history and the purpose of this post.
Brief History:
I began trading cryptocurrencies senior year of college (finance degree, solid school) after a few solid internships (research assistant focusing on LBOs, PWM at BB, finance intern at a F100 tech firm, intern at a blockchain firm, GNC store assistant). It completely changed my perspective and post-grad I decided to work for an emerging startup (5M+ yearly rev, solid margins) while continuing to trade. I left that startup last year to trade full time ($xxx,xxx) and now am looking to break into a prop firm (potentially a prop firm that trades crypto, but I am confident in my ability to learn and be successful in a new asset class).
I am proficient at deep-diving into white papers and very familiar with the overall crypto space. Additionally, for the last ~2 years I have used technical analysis to engineer returns. I consider myself to be a somewhat seasoned, disciplined trader. I've successfully managed a five figure collateralized debt position to substantially increase my yearly ROI. Lastly, I'm learning Python (~60 hours in).
I applied to Akuna in Chicago and got the general first round numbers/pattern recognition interview. I was prepping for that when COVID hit and they paused recruiting.
Purpose of Post:
I'm now looking to learn how to best spin my experience to break into S/T. I'd love to hear candid feedback from guys on how they think my experience would translate to a new asset class, how I should prepare for said asset class, and really anything you believe helpful.
My current plan is to apply to every prop house in Chicago and NY, as well as a load of cryptocurrency trading firms and hedge funds. I consider my experience in the blockchain/cryptocurrency world to be my most unique and marketable characteristic, I'm simply here for opinions on how I should best market that experience.
