I looked at Monster and I see that most entry level (most I can hope for) trader positions are in New York and Chicago. What's the likelyhood of me getting a job there if I live in South Carolina? would they just toss my resume? Is only way to get a job there would be to move there?
Why would you want to move from a place which has the best weather in the country to places like new york and chicago which have ridiculous winters. I live in new york, and I want to move to southern california.
hello NY, chicago and London are de financial center of the world.... IF you have some cash with you, buy a seat at the Nybot (finex division about $6.500 last sale) build some relationships, learn the enviroment kick some ass and relax.. IF you dont have Cash (30-50k) Then Go to any NY prop firms or investment houses and be agressive (not arrogant or rude) (remmember bud fox?) good luck.. (you can!! , just do it! you don't have anything to loose) PD: the Rent in manhattan can be very expensive, but food,clothing,transportation and entertainment are are more expensive at Miami 4 example.. NY is very cool, once you learn how the system work But the people can be very straight foward BTW, a Lot of smooth jazz lounge at dowtown manhattan, full of cool girls.. But, if you have a family, then move to south florida/south california.. NY is too rude 4 kids
