Need Advice!..Master in Finance looking for entry level in Chicago trading firm..no experience & no programing skills
I'm a Master in Finance graduate with no prior trading (or finance) experience, with no programing skills; looking for an entry level position in a trading firm in Chicago.
I really want any/all advice on how I can do this. Does anybody know of any trading firms that might take somebody with a Master's education without experience or programming knowledge?? I am already aware of the firms listed bellow..
IMC, Optiver, Group 1, Wolverine, Mako, Tibra, Eldorado, Breakwater, Chopper, Peak 6, Gelber, Timber Hill, Infinium, TransMarket Group, DRW, Jump Trading..
I am looking for anything that can get me into the industry..a training program would be great
I think you are better off doing a CS master.
You're really selling yourself hard with that subject line.
Why should he do a Comp Sci. Major. I don't think he wants to be a programmer. Seriously as far as trading goes excel & VBA are needed everything else is helpful.
even for an algorithmic or hft firm?
If you are an algo ohft it may be a different story.
I want to be a trader, and I'm not against learning programming, but I just want to find a firm that will give me a start. What trading firms in Chicago would give somebody with no prior experience or computer programing skills a job??
