I've been offered a position at Prop company in Chicago. They offer a decent salary, but most money is made via commissions. I've been also offered a position in portfolio management. Which has about a 10% higher base salary, but not too much room for added bonus. I am interested in both, and I believe I've the skills and desire to do both. What is your opinion? Thanks.
You say the first job is with a prop firm. Most prop firms don't give you a salary and THEY make commissions off of YOU. What you get is professional leverage [OPM] to trade. Can you elaborate more on the first posn. Maybe you should post in the Prop trading area.
I know most prop firms do not, but this one does. It recruits talent and pays them to become their traders. (for example, like New York First Securities). Thanks
