Starting off in a sell side vs buy side as a trading analyst in macro
Hey, so i have a s&t offer from a tier 1 american bank and an offer from a tier 1 hedge fund as an analyst under a pod. are there any cons to starting off in the buy side immediately rather than going through the sell side experience?
abit of bg abt me: fresh stem undegrad
interests: macro & quantamental analysis (my firm/pod is v discretionary but want me to start building some semi-systematic signals)
i also have to ask, what are some of the expectations i should set straight with my pm if i do decide to pick buy side. the reason i say this is because sell side is defn more structured & desk traders have a personal incentive to train u, not sure about the buy side tho
Trading is the one place where I think you don’t need to start off in sell side to get exposure & learn. Take the buy side gig and thank yourself later
Both great, take buy-side if you have it. Congrats and gl

This is definitely not the case. The advantage of sell side is that you have more time to figure out how to make money (for similar YOE the expectation of trading skill is much lower in sell side than in buy side)
