What does it take to be a trader
I'm an incoming freshman in college. I'm interested in energy trading(my school is decently well-known for it/top 20 uni), and I will be majoring in Finance and Computer Science. Can someone walk me through the general recruiting timeline(when should I be getting internships/applying for positions)?
Also, what kind of internships should I be getting(which positions & best firms)?
Thanks in advance.

what type of energy trading?
Oil and Gas if possible
Energy is a broad spectrum. Do you want to do Coal/Power/O&G?
I would prefer Oil and Gas, but I'm not opposed to other options either
Are you referring to SnT or Quant? In my opinion, securing a SnT opportunity is easier.
If I were you, I would plan to enroll in several advanced math and statistics classes. This is key, and I rarely see it mentioned on this site.
Another good (and more fun) skill to develop is Poker. Big Quant firms (2 Sigma, IMC, Citadel, Jane Street, etc.) often sponsor/support collegiate Poker clubs/organizations.
I am more interested in SnT, but I’m pretty comfortable with advanced math and I have confidence I could succeed as a quant. Which is easier to break into?
In enim quia ut quasi odio. Vel aut ea animi eum et tempore.
Sequi aliquam nobis dolores id. Quasi quas voluptatem ducimus ipsum voluptate sit.
