Precisely my first impression! Just my quick 2c....OP is well educated (though not Ivy -- I ain't either), well versed, and experienced. I highly doubt you will have much trouble getting a job in this market or any other. Simply forward your resume with a cover letter as close to identical to what you wrote in your opening post and your phone will ring.
Your lucid (as justrading correctly put it) writing ability jumps off the page. I would call you if you had zero experience. Good luck with your career!

that would be true if it wasnt for the single fact that most desks are downsizing because advanced execution algo's have replaced the trader for managing the risk on the books... so less number of traders are needed to manage the algos... and since the new rules at IBs forced the divestiture of the prop desks, there is even less need... dont take me wrong, all IB's have their GAT teams still, but they are not "making" money for the bank as much as they used to...
that migration that he could have "assisted" with were all done ions ago.. so late to the party...
if he was really to work for an IB, he would be good as a sales trader... that is assuming his MBA is concentrated in finance and that he has a good grasp of derivatives... because that is where he might find an opportunity as an entry level analyst...
sadly, had he gone to wharton, by the time he would have graduated he would have had the job offer in hand already... anyhow, just my 2 cents on that ... Baruch is excellent...
Yeah, no one is looking for that job in NY right now. LOL.
word is the guys at WTS--boston are raking in the $$ with a real teachable edge and phat infrastructure/ dp access/ routes. The only prop firm, to the best of my knowledge, making it like the old days.... might be a good place for an old new guy to look. who knows?? good luck! surf
Wow, thank you for the kind words!
