Getting A Job In Finance While Trading

volpunter said:
a) why would anyone hire you for a back or middle office job when one can find hundreds of experienced applications instead? If I need someone to help with settlements then I hire someone who has settled before not a snotty 21 year old claiming to have experience in "finance".

b) You claim to be 21 years old and an investment advisors? Which cycles have you possibly seen and especially ridden through to bestow the slightest of confidence by clients in your advisor capacity?

c) Do yourself a favor and get a solid job, you may have to start at the very bottom in a financial job given your age and lack of experience. I take it you have not gone to college or dropped out cause 21 year old kids are usually still in college. If you finished college already then you should not find it hard to find a job though I doubt this applies to your situation. Nobody finishes colleges early and then starts day trading.

Don't take those above comments as cynical. I say such to push you to get a real job, but drop your expectations, your "advisor certificate" or whatever it is means nothing. Unless you have an extreme passion for trading (which you apparently do not have else you would not even ask this question) you won't make it as a day trader. Get a proper job if you want to be respected in society.

Im qualified to give investment advice to retail clients advising them on pensions, investment funds, loans etc Not an investment advisor taking money and trading it.

In Ireland btw not eastern europe.

The pension firms basically hire you and expect you to sell to your friends and family they say things like "were looking for those with a great network" "uncapped commissions"

Most 21 year olds who went to college graduate here, start at 17-18 finish 20-21 undergrad.

What is the bottom of the financial industry ? the trade operations jobs pays $30k per year, not exactly "wall street" money.

And I do have a extreme passion for trading but building a capital base is important, having financial stability while trading ?

You are 21 and are "qualified" to advise seasoned people on their life savings? Hmm, ok if that qualifies in Ireland....

Why don't you move to where the money is? Can you get a job in London?

your knowledge (of whores) is second to none.

I can imagine that. The typical vacuum cleaner sales type jobs where they send you to whore houses in the Czech Republic or Hungary at company's expenses if you exceeded the quota at year end.
