From Prop to ------

Resume this, credentials that, Ivy this.............

Who cares making money is easy. Venture out on your own and leave the corporate grind behind................................... If trading does not work out for you start your own business and leave the corporate "catch phrases", credentials, resume boosters, to the poor souls bound as a cog in a machine by a golden handcuff...

My 2 cents
:cool:
 
yeah...who wants to climb a corporate ladder?

And really, who wants to work for "the man"?

In fact, who even wants to sit in front of a screen all day?

I'm sure someone below these social rungs would probably recommend a different course of action, contrary to the mainstream.

Hustle crack. Fuck the GED. Crack don't need no GED, PHD, or XYZ.
 
Quote from nicholaf:

mr Kamikaze's post is spot on. great post man.

no, not all I-bank traders are flow traders. There are many types, including the structured (equity or fixed income) derivatives traders. that's the hot job to get in nowadays. these are not flow at all and involve lots of math and attact the brightest talent, involving personalized derivatives for clients. (like credit defualt swaps, swaptions, etc)

however, even more prestigious and even more hard to get in are the prop trading positions within the I-Bank. you are trading the firms capital and the bonuses that these guys get are from millions to tens of millions. these guys are very secretive but that is arguably the pinnacle of trading in an I-bank.

err, srry to burst your bubble, structured deriv traders are almost all flow traders....personalized derivatives for clients IS flow trading....
