What To Do If All Options End Up Failing
So I am currently on hold for SA at my top choice for S&T, specifically on the trading side, and I have a superday next week with my dream company. Beyond that the opportunities are seeming to run thin at this point. My background is extremely unique and I have a near perfect GPA, and interview very well. The consistent problem I've run into is that I come from a non-target and that some view me as a flight risk due to how successful I have been in the past as an entrepreneur. Any suggestions as to what to do this summer to stay in the trading game? Should I go to a capital contribution prop and just learn and trade conservatively so as to lose the least? Really starting to get kind of frustrated but I am open to any suggestions.
Thank you all.
What about being a successful entrepreneur as u claim to be ? Because no successful entrepreneur wants to be trading stupid products, even more so at a bank with all the new boring regulations.
Go find a bridge...
and fish for some new ideas!
I'm getting a good laugh at the flight-risk part.
Not sure why you're laughing, its just something that was said to me in 2 interviews so far. I have always been self employed both in starting some companies when I was younger and selling them and then capitalizing on a different opportunity after. I dropped out of college for 6 years while doing this but went back last year and am very interested in S&T. I am passionate about the markets and just want to learn. I appreciate the suggestions of looking for alternative ideas but given my background, it relates to trading very well. I did a BB S&T internship as a sophomore and loved it, but I didn't apply to the lower tier banks this time around, something I obviously regret choosing to do.
Hi everyone. I can vouch for parts of FutureLRO's story. I know the OP might make him look a little delusional if you haven't seen his resume, but the reality is that he does have a really nice offer pending.
He's from a non-target but has a compelling background that's very specific to being a trader- if I said what it was, he'd be pretty easy to Google. Without going into too much detail, the desk that interviewed him is kind of bending over backwards to find a seat for him, but they're running into some bureaucratic issues.
My suggestion to OP is that there is nothing further he can do at this point. He can either wait to hear back or he can go out and keep recruiting. The best thing he can do right now is to get his mind off of this particular firm; focusing on the situation there will only make things more difficult psychologically.
Bump...haven't really gotten any good ideas so far.
