Equities Trading with no CS/Stats/Math Background
Hello - coming on here and looking for advice. I'm a student who got placed on an equities trading desk for my upcoming internship and I have no CS/Math/Stats background whatsoever. I am keen on preparing hard for the internships (don't know which desk), but imagine I'll need data analysis skills and the ability to code well. Can anyone provide advice on what I need to start doing/looking at so that I can have the requisite skills?

If this is vanillas you should be fine, do some python training and you’ll be good to go. Even VBA might be helpful. If it’s equity derivatives then yeah you’re gonna need a crash course.
Any recommendations for crash course? I’m in a very very math-heavy field of STEM, and have decent python experience, but I’m not sure what I’d actually be asked to do on the job.
For my S&T internship next summer, I’m hoping to land at an equities/equity derivatives desk.
Any advice / recommendations would be appreciated!
