    Considering career at CBOE! Need advice!

    I took a job as a pit reporter back when just to get on the floor of the NYBOT. The pay sucked. But the experience was invaluable. Once you're down there you can network. Exchange floors/pits/rings can be tight knit groups. Kinda like dealing w/ a gang. You're the newbie jerk until you get...
