Advice on finding a job in a trading company after 15yrs prop trading

Hi all,

I've been trading for 15yrs with my own money at various trading arcades. It's primarily been oil and distillate futures, but I also traded fixed income cash bonds and futures.

This year I've realised that I'm not progressing, or more importantly, I'm not learning anything new, at least in regard to trading!

I'd really relish the chance to trade and learn more at a big firm but so far all my efforts applying have fallen on deaf ears.

Does anyone have advice for me, or can point me towards someone who could assist? I can provide more colour on my situation and what I do.

Many thanks
