Trader Assistant / Clerk job in Chicago

[rosy2]

Quote from Econ-grad:

yes, i know what it entails. i've been researching this for a while, if i was after the "fantasized glamor" i would have taken a trading job after college, i didn't, but now i hear my calling and have to go after it.

so then you know that you should learn how to program and research data.

You'd be better off learning how to progam alogs and selling yourself and algo knowledge to a firm.

It's the modern day story of working your way up from runner to a clerk to a trader.

These days you'd start as a junior programmer and work your way up. My how times have changed.
