Many very helpful answers, thank you. Somebody asked for my qualifications. I have a bachelor and master, both in (corporate) finance, if I study one more semester I'll have a bachelor in statistics too. Tier 2 university (there's only one Tier 1 in sweden) and average grades. I have...

So basically, my grade has no effect whatsoever on whether a company would hire me to train as a trader or not? Also, is this the usual way of going about in this business, putting up your own money and proving yourself before getting hired I mean?

My impression is that to get a job at an ibank, you have to have gone to a target school and have gotten very good grades. We have guidance yes, but there's no harm in asking around is there?

Where do i look? Is there a 'normal' way of betting into the business? Is it all grades like in ibanking or are there other ways to get into the trade? Links and tips appreciated.
