Need Advice - Graduated from a target
Hi guys, I need some advice. I graduated for a target, liberal-arts school last year with an overall 3.5 gpa, and majored in political science. I am currently working as an analyst in Asset Management at a BB firm in NY. But I hate it and want to work as a trader. From what I've gathered reading on this site, I seem to think a prop-shop or a small firm might be a better fit than a BB bank, and possibly easier to get into. But because I started in June, if i leave before a year, i owe them my signing bonus, which i obviously blew. Would i owe the whole thing or is it pro-rated? Also, what can I do to be positioning myself to get interviews, i study the markets, invest on my own, read all the books, etc..but what can i do to seperate myself? Lastly, what other prop-shops besides FNYS offer salaries? I couldnt afford rent without one. Thanks for all the help guys.
majority of the prop shops offer a small salary. I've seen ranges from 20K to 40K. You will owe the whole sign on bonus prior to leaving before the first year.
Asset Management, what type of work are you doing?
If you have access to contacts, I suggest you network with investment professionals at family owned offices or alternative investment vehicles.
btw, don't let this affect your current job. make sure you keep giving a 100%. People are still getting laid off left and right.
We're about to enter a Great Depression. Don't you want a president who's already dressed for it?
why do you want to work as a trader? what makes you think you can work as a trader?
be happy to have a job.
