Hi guys, I am in talks with a prop shop that wants to hire me, doesnt pay a salary but doesnt ask for a capital contribution either. I am 26 years old and I plan on applying to an MFE program in the next year or so and I am currently working as a financial advisor for one year at a BB. Before that I worked as an M&A analyst intern for one and a half years. I have in total about two and a half years experience in financial services. I am a US citizen born and raised and speak perfect English so that isnt an issue.
Currently I am talking courses to boost my application for an MFE program. I majored in economics and got a 3.2/4.0 CUM. I had a horrible college career, I faced lost of personal adversity and emotional and family challenges and didnt know what I wanted to do until very late into the game.
My goal if accepted into an MFE program is to work as a trader for a BB, or as a Quant Analyst and I feel like having some trading experience will make my application that much stronger for an MFE program
My friend who went to Cornell MFE program thinks its smart for me to get a trading gig while I take classes to boost my gpa.
What do you guys think?
