Would you have any ideas about which are the best ways to get in? <BR/>I can't really continue to study, I need to start working come september or early in 08. <BR/>I would consider taking a MBA or equiv course in the future, but I'm not sure seeing as I will have a masters.<BR/><BR/>I'm unsure as to what my best option is for an entry level position to get into the 'game'. Trading or foreign exchange positions would be nice I think.<BR/>Any advice welcome! Best of luck in the big LBS!.<BR/>Phil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20073703.post-1165320629823295952006-12-05T13:10:00.000+01:002006-12-05T13:10:00.000+01:00congrats mbayisyen, that's very early for Europe, ...congrats mbayisyen, that's very early for Europe, isn't it?

I've got friends who work at both places and my advice would be to spend as long as you can trying to get a feel for the culture of the individual desk you are targeting as you possibly can. While firms have individual cultures (Lehamn's has a reputation for being ok and quite friendly - DB has a rep for being very ageessive and nasty at times) the culture of the desk will vary very much also. Cash Equities has a very very different feel from Convertibles or Credit Derivs for example.<BR/><BR/>For most UK asset classes to trade you have to take 2 exams (one regulatory and one asset class specific exam) - but these are easy 3 days of study + 2 days swatting multiple choice type exams. The firm invariably pays for them as soon as you arrive.<BR/><BR/>An interesting bulletin board if you're interested in trading is Willmot.com - quite quant focused (but then all interesting trading jobs now are!) and good to get a feel for what firms / desks are like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20073703.post-1162515147299855982006-11-03T01:52:00.000+01:002006-11-03T01:52:00.000+01:00Hi AngieI used to be a broker here in Toronto, and...Hi Angie<BR/>I used to be a broker here in Toronto, and you had, wnd still have to take 2 licencing courses before you can trade. If you don't pass the courses within the probationary time then you can't trade. It's obviously pretty basic industry courses(after an MBA it would be very easy). However I was just wondering if London was the same. Thanks for the info though. The blog is great. Keeps me motivated through the gmat studying!<BR/>MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20073703.post-1162483531531289452006-11-02T17:05:00.000+01:002006-11-02T17:05:00.000+01:00Thanks for the wishes angie :)Thanks for the wishes angie :)MBABloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442252153037013441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20073703.post-1162332355439929882006-10-31T23:05:00.000+01:002006-10-31T23:05:00.000+01:00Hi Michelle,what do you mean by courses?

Before you join I don't think you need to do anything, and then you learn on the job. Regarding the official qualification I think it can take 3 months or so till you can act on your own, but they didn't talk about that, sorry!angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555602254191133348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20073703.post-1162322952962535672006-10-31T20:29:00.000+01:002006-10-31T20:29:00.000+01:00Thanks for really giving us a flavour of the LBS M...Thanks for really giving us a flavour of the LBS MBA. <BR/>I have a question - if you want to be a trader in the UK how many courses do you have to take?
