If you are in Chicago...call Citadel. They fire ~10% of their work force every year in January. So, they may have some openings.

Does anyone know if its true that once you join 1-2 prop trading firms, you immediately blacklisted from being hired into a hedge fund?
the reason I asked about prop trading firms being an issue, was b/c quite a few job listing for hedge funds in new york specifically state no prop traders need apply. Just wanted to know if anybody encountered any problems in the industry.
Post one of those ads for yucks. I'm guessing the skills of a directional trader swinging 2s and 4s in ES is not the same as a hedge fund type of trader.Quote from sy5050@aol.com:

Here's an example hedge fund position I came across. I've removed the name because I don't know whether the company would want me reposting their ad. This ad came from the AIMR Jobline. (AIMR is the organization that awards the CFA designation.) The Jobline is only available to members, I believe. This is an ad for a large fund-of-funds hedge fund manager in San Francisco.
