Hi all, I longed for being a trader since university and wonder if you guys have any advice. As my background, I have an engineering degree from a top-tier uni in HK. I worked for a short while in audit, after which i worked in a top-tier EU IB in research for 2 yrs. Unfortunately i found no way to switch to trading in the bank (i haven't heard of sb switching from rsch to trading in the bank neither), so i decided to take a masters in finance in imperial college london. it's a very quanty program which is suitable for me, combined with a fair reputation of the school, i believe it can add me more value than staying for another year in the bank. Question now - how i can prepare better in the following year to get me a good chance in starting my desired career? i know the market is tough and trading job has a very high barrier, but in order to get into trading i treasure every little opportunity. Perhaps you guys can give me more insights...thx!
unless you have a mentor you are in for the world of hurt, emotionally financially it takes 3 years to start to understand trading and that's if you are very committed if you have a mentor, it can be cut down to 3-5 months PS: having a mentor is next to impossible
good for you now let me ask you something would you please mentor me PPPLLLLLLEEEASSSSSEEEEEEEEEE (drops to his knees and yells even louder) PPLLLLEEEAAASSSEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
