Junior Exotic Trader - Better to accumulate more experience?
I am currently working as a junior exotic trader. At my stage, i feel i am doing a lot support work rather than trading structured notes, also the learning curve on the exotic desk is very slow, and rather than taking prop positions, it is a business of hedging risks. Sometimes I feel a little confused about the future.
I want to know what are the exit opportunities for juniors like me? Or it is better to accumulate more experiences then moving to another sell-side firm? Please could anyone give some advise?Thank you all!
as a former exotics trader, the options are to try to build a long term career (possible if your firm has lots of flow), start your own technology provider for exotics or go and do your MBA.
there aren't a ton of exit opportunities, so it's great that you are thinking about it already.
I did interest rates exotics for 4 years. Learned a lot and made great money but got tired of it. Go do an MBA at a top school and never look back.
