Advices on which desk in S&T is good for me?
Hi everyone,
This August I will be joining a "Almost BB" in London as a Global Markets Graduate. I will do 3 rotations and I can chose the stream, I want to do trading, but I can't chose the desk.
But since I have almost nothing to do (beside easy uni stuff) for the next 6 months I would like to learn stuff I will need for the desk I would like to join after the graduate.
My question is, how do I understand which desk is for me? I really like Macro and trying to understand what is happening, what are the implications and what's going to happen next. So my thinking was Rates or Cross-Assets. But I am good-ish at math and stat (I come from econ background) and I know some basics in python but not much more.
Sorry if this post doesn't make much sense but I am honestly really confused.
Thanks in advance!!
Is this Bnp grad?
Yup, didn't write it because it seems like in this forum everyone never specifies the bank
What was the process I applied for that as well. Sorry this isn’t too related to desks lol
Go with rates broington. If possible try to get a volski seatington. It will help you understand trading VoL of interest rate swaps, swaptions, future options midcurve blah blah womp womp pow pow. Any vol seat tbh you gotta use your brain bruv. Imagine tings innit
I wish everything I read was in your writing style. big ups
I just want to relay same information light hearted brather. Ppl already stress too much. You know where I come from in Dagestan - we don’t stress… we make people tep.
Oh? Interviewer don’t like you? Make him tep. D’Arce choke for brather
What are your thoughts on credit vol desks and the skillset for those desks?
brather im serry i dont knows bout credit vol. But i remember my brather tell me " any vol desk make you tep". if desk make you tep means desk hard and good future. Vol is good brather.
this is how i speak to clients
Thanks brother :')
My only doubt is that these desks (as far as I have read) require some advanced quant skills that I don't have. Any advice? I know the basics of quant finance and can write a bit in python but i don't think I can compete with someone that has math/cs background
