Will it be possible to go from Prop Trading intern to IBD, S&T, or Buyside FT Recruiting?
I will be interning at a respectable prop trading shop in Chicago this summer as a junior. In the case that I find out that prop trading isn't for me, how easy will it be for me to recruit to IBD or S&T at a BB next fall? Or to a hedge fund or asset manager? For some background, I attend a target, have a decent GPA, and have some investing experience and fundamental finance knowledge, but I may not be the best at selling myself to recruiters.
Thanks for the advice.
IBD/HF/AM would probably be difficult but S&T should definitely be doable if this is a DRW/Belvedere/Peak6/etc level shop.
Reason I say the first three would be tough is because the skill set and work environment isn't really all that transferable.
It's a Dutch firm with an office in Chicago if that helps... Although I understand that the skillset from prop trading isn't really transferrable, I do have a good finance/ quant finance background and some experience with investing. I realize that the bbs probably just recruit from their internship pools mostly, but would something on the buyside still be doable?
