At major investment banks, if you know how to play politics and have good connection, you can be a trader getting a salary of several hundred thousand dollars plus bonus without making any profit for years. I doubt that you can survive in a prop firm by doing so.
Gee - You mean I could've made all that $ without actually being a profitable trader??? Wish you'd have mentioned this before I left the street. For all that don't get it - this is a joke.
