Chances to get into Trading?
Hi everyone,
I am new here but I quite enjoy reading these forums.
I have finally created an account and want to ask a question:
Consider these qualifications: 1) I live in Germany and have studied in the UK and got a 2.1 honours degree in Management (I am not sure what this is in GPA terms). Moreover, I have worked part-time during my studies for about a year in ops at a BB in the back office (think GS/MS). Thereafter, I have done a summer internship in PWM at a Swiss Bank. Currently, I am doing a Masters in Finance and work part time at a BB (think GS) in institutional sales.
With these qualifications- what are my chances of getting into Trading? I am thinking about canceling my masters program and applying for full time positions. Would you guys reckon that is a good decision?
Many thanks for your input.
Best regards,
OhHi
If it's institutional sales in S&T (as opposed to AM), then you should stay put and finish your degree. The most important thing is being on the trading floor and after a few years (maybe sooner) you should be able to move from the sales role to a trading role since you are in constant contact with traders.
Hey, thank you for your response. Could you please clarify what the difference between instutional sales in s&t and am is? My team is sitting on the trading floor between the fixed income and institutional equity division. Our main activities are promoting our products mainly funds to institutional investors. I am not exactly sure if this falls under the category s&t or am.
