Cash Equities - how to make myself non-redundant?

I'm a junior at a cash equity trading desk and see a lot of disruption in this field.
Although I'm not worried of getting fired for now, the future is definitely not bright.

I'm considering going for an MBA to transition to a different role, but if I decide to stay within S&T, what desks should I am for and/or what can in terms of building skill sets so that I don't become obsolete?

 

queertheory, pure crickets, that's where I come in. Any of these useful?

No promises, but maybe one of our professional members will share their wisdom: Aleksandra-Jovanovic bsell333 Samail
