Moving from IBD to Trading
I'm currently trying to move from my current position (IBD senior analyst/jr associate at a BB ) to trading, but seems to be taking longer than expected to make this (trying for 6 months now). Does anyone here already made this move / seen this happen? Curious to learn what took to achieve this. Have been reading a lot about derivatives, refreshing my programming skills learned from university but apparently IB background is not appealing to traders. I'm starting to consider coming up to my manager and telling him i'd like to make this move but as anyone can imagine this is a do or die move (as soon as i tell him, they'll no longer want me in the team and i'll have to rush to make this happen before they fire me).
Hey traderwannabe123, sorry about the delay, but are any of these useful:
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
Where are you based?
Americas (non-US)
IBD skillsets are non-transferrable to trading role (im assuming sell-side market making trading roles) so they would prefer to hire a fresh grad out of college whom is waaay cheaper than hiring an IBD dude like you where they need to re-train in the same capacity as a fresh grad. Good luck
Completely agree with what you said but looking at this side, anyone out of trading would have no chance to make this transition (as no other career has the same skillset as in trading)...
