Non target, industry vet, mid 30’s, Looking for a gig trading

Hi. My main purpose here is to rectify my path and place me in a trading role that is better suited to my natural talents.

Those talents include technical analysis, objective big picture assessment of information, filtering “noise”, willingness to be and defend the different opinion, and conviction via thoughtful strategy and execution 

Positions are monitored and criticized with ongoing analysis, objectivity, and flexibility.

my product strength is equities and derivatives and cash fixed income, including etf vol.

My weaknesses, position management, psychology and some technical application in terms of structuring. I have done tremendous work on all of the above, technically improved by reading such work as Natenburg and Saliba, trading my own account, and as a result can better express myself and my views functionally. 

my path has been middle market IB where I was exposed to top fund managers both vanilla and hedge funds, their sales reps and traders.

My current role is wealth management at a bulge  

ultimately I not only want to improve financial quality of life but I want to be creatively and intellectually challenged, ideally somewhere that is willing to mentor and allow someone to flourish (don’t we all?)

My location is greater ny with experience both in the city and in major locations in the burbs, willing to return to the city and also willing to work via telecommute and occasional travel but unlikely to relocate unless a knockout opportunity presents itself. 

also, please leverage me for any questions on culture at a bulge or middle market, how to effectively communicate with senior management, how to influence and position ultra high net worth prospects in WM, how not to give too Much away on pricing your services, and how to interpret and effectively make use of technical analysis. 
 

Thanks
