Sales and Trading Exit Opps
I thought I would just get a post going discussing exit opps for S&T. I know it is commonly said that they aren't nearly as good as IB. However, I'm just curious what are some potential opportunities that I should look into. Thanks.
I'm an incoming Analyst so I don't know the lay of the land as well as some others. But If you're coming from a quantitative background I'd imagine tech being a fairly natural exit op should you want to leave.
Why would anyone voluntarily exit S&T?
75% of the people I started with left the industry. Better to leave early if going to do something else than stick around
Believe it or not, there are some people that end up not liking the role
For the trading side, especially macro its a natural transition to macro hedge funds or multi-manager HFs such as millennium and citadel. You see a lot transition after 3 years of a very good track record or alternatively moving across later as a PM at director and above level. I would say credit trading also has good HF exit opps too.
Not necessarily an “exit opp” but quite a few traders leave and do their own start-up. A lot of skills that make a good trader are actually quite synonymous with the skills required to be a startup founder.
Sales naturally have a very wide set of exit opportunities, anywhere they can use their ability to sell. Investor relations as well as tech are common destinations.
are equity index derivatives (exotic)/volatility -themed trading considered as macro? Do those specifically have good exit opps
hedge fund exits just means that you go trade the same product at a hedge fund. it will have "good exits" if the product is popularly traded by hedge funds. there are definitely hedge funds that trade exotic equity derivs and vol, so yes should be opportunities if you are good at it.
