Experienced equities prop trader for the past 7 years
I'm very interested in investments and trading, but given my background I know I don't have a realistic shot at any of the normal WSO jobs. I'm just interested in getting my foot in the door somewhere, preferably as a desk ER analyst or operations role. I'd like to stay out of sales. My background is primarily in trading and consulting.
I suppose my main question is, would I have a shot at being a (er analyst, banker, etc) is it worth it? what route would you recommend? Is it worth the hard work of taking certifications, studying excel models, obtaining additional licences, etc if I don't stand a chance against candidates with BBA's in Finance and internship experience? As always I sincerely appreciate any advice and feedback. A little brutal honesty and condescension never hurt anyone. Thanks so much.
