Trading SA - High Flow
Internship advice has been asked a million times, so one more shouldn't hurt.
Currently working in Credit Trading at a MM. The problem is that because it's such high flow, everyone is massively busy and it's really tough to either find out more about how they trade/the product or get shown how to do different tasks.
Too often a trader will be about to show me how to do the PnL and then get a call, leave for 5-10 (or more) mins, then come back and get distracted again.
Now I'm worried that quickly days can add up to weeks and I won't have done very much. Obviously if I haven't been shown how to do the PnL I can't be expected to do it, but equally when they make a decision in 10 weeks they'll think "it took him till X week to get that done" which obviously doesn't look good.
I've done an internship before and I'm not shy to ask for help etc. but obviously too often is annoying. There's a good balance but I haven't worked in such a high flow desk before so they're super busy (I worked in a lower flow trading desk before and that was tough too but not like this).
What do I do? My worry is that in a week or two I'll not have much more knowledge of the product or trading systems and look quite stupid. It will obviously be partly my fault, but they won't likely think "oh we've been too busy" and just assume it's entirely my fault.
What about earlier in the morning or later in the day when things slow down?
