Career move
Hi,
I currently work in tax and want to make a move into fixed income trading. I have no experience outside of one year as a trade support analyst (equities).I spoke with a mentor recently and he recommended that I find a role that would assist in developing skills that I could transfer into a trading role in the future. My question is what kind of roles fit that description?
Thanks!
you haven't really provided enough information on what you do at the moment
I currently work in corporate tax. My group pays the taxes on the revenue generated by the firm.
Thanks
Are you currently at Big 4? I think you'll find there's pretty much zero overlap between these two roles. Why fixed income trading?
Yes I work at Deloitte. I enjoy following the economy as a whole and determining based off of different economic indicators where interest rates will end up. So presumed fixed would be a better fit for me as opposed to equities.
please list your age, educational background, whether or not you have taken the GMAT/gre, whether or not you are willing to go back to school, what city you are based in, etc etc come on dude you're not even trying
I am 28, undergrad in finance. I have an MBA from Emory (Goizueta). I currently live in NYC.
Thanks!
okay, that's a little better- easier to work with
i think that at this point, prop shops are your best bet what you should do is focus on reaching out to alumni who might have contacts in chicago, because work in the credit market tends to be a little bit more non traditional over there and easier to break into
but in terms of building valuable skills, i would strongly recommend trying to develop skills with excel and using research based software like capital IQ. in terms of fixed income, i would recommend that you try to familiarize yourself with the in and outs of trading. i hear zolio has a free online program
