Boutique Trading Firms

Everyone knows the bulge bracket firms generates revenue from sales and trading.
Everyone also knows that they generate revenue from investment banking (i.e. corporate finance).

There are investment banking boutique/MM firms.

Are there any sales and trading boutique/MM firms, and if so, can you list a few?

 

ive looked into these firms as well and am wondering if anyone can give anymore insight into their hours, compensation, and exit opportunities to top b-schools or hedge funds?

 

disclaimer: this is all hearsay but here goes...

SIG pays better once u stop being in the apprentice role and become a "market maker" - not that philly is that expensive. they have a noncompete in place and apparently take it rather seriously. SIG started their recruiting in August, came thru schools in Oct/Nov

Tradelink is still collecting resumes this January. noncompete is pretty reasonable.

Boss - I think people start as clerks - i think they are only collecting resumes for overnite clerk opportunities - heard focused on euro markets.

GroupOne more open to non-quantitative backgrounds than wolverine.
