    Has Anyone TRADED at any of these firms? Comments?

    Know a few guys who were at the Dublin office. They said it was a good shop but definitely not for pikers. They expect results from their trainees and are pretty ruthless when it comes to giving them the boot. The head honcho said in an interview "If you can't make 10k (euros?) a month after...

    Back to the original OPs question, no - a stint at a prop firm would actually be more of a disadvantage if you wanted to pursue a career at an IBank or fund. Retail 'prop' trading sticks out on human resources read of your resume as 'couldn't get a job with reputable IBank let alone a 3rd/4th...
