Recent Graduate looking for Prop Trading Opportunities in NYC area

I was responding to a complaint. All posts that were offtopic were deleted.

P.S. How are you doing with your job search?

Hello,

I recently graduated from UConn in May 2011 with a BA in economics. I started going for my MS in Mathematics at Fairfield University this past spring. However, I'm looking to start a career in trading immediately. I was thinking about perhaps trying the prop shops. I do not have trading experience and would like to work for a firm that's willing to invest in an ambitious young person's education. I hear that Jane Street is the best, I'm not sure what other great companies are in the NYC area. The most important thing to me would be the education as I am raw talent and really want to learn how to do things the right way.

Not well. Haha. I think I've applied every place I could in NYC and haven't heard back yet, but I'll keep looking. I may have to apply to firms in Chicago and London. Though I'm not sure any of the London firms take US citizens.

Thanks.
 
Rodney King,

Thanks...but I will still get blasted...

Will you folks please tell me earlier when something like this happens?...When I have to come to a thread 3 weeks later and delete many users posts...that is offending even if they were posting offtopic. I do not like it when one of my posts get deleted...do you?

Anyways I cannot read the content of every thread in here...I try to read every post and I get most of them...but I am mainly looking for spam...so you guys must help me...especially the senior guests here...

This took me one hour this AM to fix this thread...If I missed anything hit the complain button and an email will be automatically sent to all of the moderators.

A long time ago I have traded at the now defunct ETG (Schonfeld bought them...)
I would go to/try Schonfeld if they have you....
Bright might be my second choice.
My 2 cents

Reasonable enough, but many threads suffer hiJACKing and since they never get cleaned up, I've assumed it's because he has some sort of special relationship with site management -- in fact he claims to be a paid contributor to the site, and the mods have never denied/refuted that claim, as far as I've seen.
 
well...That remains to be seen...however I could not imagine that "site management" would condone a "special relationship" contributing offtopic.

I feel for you @OP

I'm still an undergrad right now so I'm not looking for any full-time things

Perhaps start by being a news junkie. It isn't just FX that's driven by news, don't be afraid to go to non-trad websites other than Bloomberg/Reuters

Good luck
