1 Year Update: Physical Trader
Alright, so it's been a year that I have been on the floor trading at a physical shop... yes I'm the lumber trading who was spamming the boards 6 months ago (sue me). In the last 12 months I've learned more about the business and booked some fat margin but I'm still set on looking for a different opportunity. Ideally, I'd like to be working at a top shop (LDC, Traf, ACT, etc.) trading a commodity with more open interest or a structured products trading house.
I'd like to make a transition into the O&G or metals space.
After having networked with professionals at these top shops it seems that the transition is not easy although the skills are VERY applicable. Any advice from someone who has made the transition or from another monkey that has a suggestion as to how I can brand myself to recruiters.
Thanks guys.
Is the JT Marlin of commodities
ACT is not a top shop bruh lol
Are you really putting Traf and ACT in the same sentence? ACT the guys that cold call energy providers in the world to sell garbage? Not bad!
For all the noise you made about being on a lumber desk....I sure hope you stuck around.
And if you did stick around, I hope you got long as FUUUUCK
How goes it?
