How realistic is a move from structured finance/lending into trading?
Completed a securitized products lending internship at a BB earlier this year. My previous internships were fairly mixed (credit/fixed income), but they seem to have increasingly pushed my profile into the credit/financing bucket. I’ve only been applying to markets roles, but have repeatedly ended up getting interviews for credit/financing positions instead.
My long-term goal is trading, ideally macro. I'm struggling to see the actual route to switch: most graduate trading programmes don't allow much full-time experience, while most external roles seem to be associate positions requiring directly relevant product/trading experience.
If I take the offer, am I realistically pigeonholing myself into credit? How would you actually go about making the pivot into trading?
