Brief difference between stockbroking and sales in 'sales and trading' division of a bank
What are the main differences in terms of role, pay, difficulty of getting in between the standard stockbroking job you'll see on any job site and a 'security sales' role in an investment bank?
What I don't get is that some look down on stockbroking, but then I hear people with top academics go into security sales at IBs.
Is it much more difficult to get into it at an IB... what would one need academics wise??
Thanks
