"tarding desk"
Wow, this typo could be a career-limiting move if it happened in the wrong place...
Anyway, you seem familiar. Have you posted here before? My question is, why do you think you haven't been successful in your job search? Do you think you are qualified but unlucky, or do you think that you lack the skills to move into a FO job? If it's the first case, then maybe it's just a tough job environment and you might get a break when the economy improves. If it's the second case, then maybe you should consider the Stanford or Columbia programs. $50k is not that much if you believe that you stand to earn more than $20k or so extra per year for the rest of your career.
I know someone who is in a similar position as you, actually. He is in MO and has been trying to move to the trading desk for a couple of years. Although we would love to give this guy a shot, he simply lacks the math proficiency required by trading. If he were to complete an MFE from a difficult school, there would be little reason for us to say no the next time a trading position opens up. I'm not sure if this is directly related to your situation, but maybe it might be helpful to know about what other people are going through.
Also, have you gotten any feedback from your FO about what you would need to move to their job? If you have a good relationship with them and they know you want to switch to trading, then why not just ask them? |
