Offered a Real Time Trader job at a respectable utility with a tricky situation. Thoughts?
So I have been derivatives at a small-mid size prop firm for an year. Recently I got an offer at a utilities firm for a real time power trader position. The only problem is that they are being bought out by another firm and I am not sure if the position might get eliminated in the near future. The regulatory commissions still need to give their verdict. Initially the Managing Director as well as the Director of the Trading floor said that the position will stay. But when I spoke to the Director of Origination, he mentioned uncertainty in the near future and whether I was comfortable with it. Honestly I really liked the trading floor when i visited them and like the culture of the firm as well. This is in addition to my strong desire to switch to the physical side of trading. Any thoughts/comments from the more experienced folks here?
