Talking About Yourself

Hello!

I am a student looking into a career in sales and trading. I have been doing some research about the industry and different desks but I would like to hear some first-hand accounts. Would anyone who works in sales and trading be able to answer these questions about their role? 

1. What desk/product do you focus on? 

2. Can you explain your desk/product? 

3. What is your favorite and least favorite thing about your job?

Assumenda sed vero perspiciatis. Id tempore id quo magnam qui ut sint.
