Hey there. I am a senior as well, at a non target, interested in listed options market making.
did an internship for chimera couple of years back. fun group of guys.
What are the pre-reqs for places like chimera/trillium? How quant are these types of groups? What type of base do some of these prop shops provide; is it enough to live off? What is the rake on profits? With the market the way it is and the vix at an all-time high prop trading sounds like a great alternative to some of the more traditional/unavailable finance routes.
chimera is definitely not quant, haha. it's momentum-based strategy, a.k.a. scalping. you still gotta be comfortable with numbers though.
Trillium is def comparable to Chimera based on what I know about the the two. Base is small designed to make you work your ass off for money as nothing is going to be handed to you. Payouts start off small but once you reach a certain level they are generous given the resources you gain as a prop trader at a shop. All the prop traders I know at the various shops all had record months in September.
Junk if you would like for me to go more in detail with what i know PM me with specific questions. We would love to have you join us in equityland.
Junior at a target interested in FX deriv's (not sure of any prop shops who trade this?) or options
Junior at a target, looking at FICC and their derivatives, possibly equity options also
