Hedge Funds & Other Non-Prop Firms
Hello All,
I'm a recent grad from a good school, solid GPA, 1.5 yrs work experience in various financial functions, etc... I'm currently unemployed and looking...Trading is a passion of mine, however I am not prepared to go the proprietary route.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or have any appropriate contacts for a HEDGE FUND, INVESTMENT FIRM, etc... that may be hiring within its TRADING department....I live in CT and the firm must be in or near FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CT. CLERKSHIPS, ASSISTANT TRADERS, whatever....
I know there are a lot, however, it would be to my distinct advantage to know some more intimate details about the firm in order to sell myself. After sending out what must be 3,000 resumes and cover letter since May '02 I'm a bit frustrated and would like to entertain the thoughts of other professionals with the same aspirations. Any info about a solid place to get my foot in the door would be appreciated.
Much thanks.

Sonic Trading wants to schedule an interview with me for their Equity Trader Trainee Program.
I am a rookie who wants to learn your field and need to know more about this firm.
Ok...my bad...you sent out 3000 resumes and have no prospects...then you have an interview with SONIC a couple hours later .....Nice work...I apologize and will keep my skepticism to myself.
