Institutional Traders

Quote from quin8670:

Hey,

It seems like a lot of guys on ET are independent traders. With traders working for banks and stuff pulling 100k plus large bonuses why aren't some of the good traders on ET going that route? Is it just the being your own boss and having full autonomy that is attractive to most people.

Also, how do traders that work for banks and hedge funds get hired? Is it their credentials mainly...

where do most of them get started?

You need to go to the top school, and You need to maintain an excellent GPA(at least 3.2) among them.
Plus, it won't hurt you if you have connections with those investment banking houses. :cool:
