Some people can shed more light, but It is possible. It is definitely a plus to have when applying but not a requirement.

You’ll have an easier time if you’re referring to a SA stint. For FT it is quite competitive across the board so, in the absence of related experience, programming is definitely a plus.

Also, FX is quite advanced in the automation process. Some banks will probably require it.

I would say maybe 50% of my SA class had SOME programming knowledge.

But it is never impossible. Networking is the single, most important factor.

 

I don't see how programming is useful in S&T. You are basically talking to clients or executing orders.

 

I never said I work in S&T. Just exploring the field and don't you only devise trading strategies in prop trading? For trading in S&T, from what I read you simply fill orders from clients.
