Spunking into something warm every weekend is hardest, for sure.
^what he said.
Jesus, how dumb are you? I take it you know there are all kinds of prop trading places. From a churn'n'burn to the Tier 1 shit or are you going to group everything together?
Not sure where you saw that getting into prop trading was a cake-walk (?) ... I've had interviews for IBD and prop trading and will say without doubt that the prop questions were far more advanced and difficult (think linear algebra, probability, matrices, etc...).
To offer my 2 cents of OP's question, no valuable career move is easy to get. If it's a good career starter, it will be hard to get, regardless of the industry (banking, prop trading, etc)
