Moving from sales to trader
Hi guys.
I got a RO from a tier 1 BB for a sales role, but my end goal is to work at a macro HF or the buy side in general for a investing role. I know it's not possible to go directly from sales to an investment role, so I figured that it's more realistic to do an internal transfer: sales -> trader -> buy side. I've seen some people do it in and outside my firm. Wanted to hear from people who were able to make the pivot; what made it possible ?
At my bank (large foreign bank in the U.S.) salespeople who have a desire to trade are actually highly encouraged to switch to the trading side, or vice versa from trading to sales. I think a lot of the macro functions of the job overlap and the 2 seperate lanes that need to be learned relate to client entertainment and risk management. I’d try to get a sense of weather or not your bank is as open to it, but I know at my bank it’s a sure thing that we have that fluidity and I’ve seen it happen ~3 times (most people like to stick to the role they were interested in/hired for).
what bank u work????
