don't you know? the first rule of alpha team is you do not talk about alpha team
i heard you have to be an alpha bro to get in...

Thanks for the link. So what the hell would alpha team mean as a sales trader?
It would mean you're not allowed in. Sales people don't have alpha.
haha. But seriously, the desk choice is listed as 'sales trading Alpha Team'.
I have no fucking idea what that means. Aplha team to me naturally sounds like a prop group, but that doesnt make any sense for numerous reasons.
Sales no.
Sales-traders yes. I can easily see how they could be in charge of monitoring several different products, kind of like a special situations desk, where they can trade derivs, cash equities, converts, options, etc...and find arb opps between them.
I interviewed with a guy in the group a while back and I'm still not entirely sure... I just know it is in equities, more of a buyside-ish role coming up with alpha-generating ideas for clients, and acts as a "filter" somehow.
it is the club for the alpha males at ms.
