Would you consider WF a BB (they are a big bank but I'd hardly call them an investment bank). Either way I think they have a floor out in SF.
Also, I guess Google now has a trading floor in SF/Bay Area.
Thanks. Sry wouldn't consider WF a BB, but am also open to prop shop jobs there as well.
Basically I'm just wondering if there are as many trading jobs in Norcal as there are PE/VC ones
I know for sure that JPM, GS, and BarCap all have floors out there... but I'm not sure how many actual traders (vs. sales guys who go through NYC traders) there are.
Thanks, that's pretty helpful. I'm basically just wondering if a fixed-income trader can make it out in that area (I know they have lots of pe/vc shops there)
I can't see how anyone would want to get up before 4 am every morning to go to work...
It's not before 4am....I get in at 6am, and it just takes some getting used to. I am by no means a morning person, but it's doable.
