Anyone know anything about Bluefin Trading?

offer dilemma

timergooff — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 20:50:22 -0400

I am about to wrapping up my SA stint at a FoF. My boss had a talk with me recently and said that basically they want me and will likely to give me an offer in September. Given the current job market situation, I probably should just be happy and take the offer when time comes. But deep inside of me, I want to work on a trading desk.

Should I start applying to as many trading desk as possible now?

Career options

timergooff — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:21:16 -0400

I want some guidance in terms of possible career options that are realistic for me.

A little background - I go to a target, doing a quanty major, and have a pretty average GPA. I had a summer internship at a small money asset manager last year. This summer, I tried to get an S/T internship but I ended up working for a medium sized fund of hedge funds. I am very into trading but I don't think my quant skills are strong enough to do quant stuff.

Any serious guidance is appreciated.

Greatly appreciated

I am having hard time tracking down HF or smaller shops that offer internship in trading or PM related area. If you know a place or two, I will be greatly appreciated if you can post them.

keep applying?

timergooff — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 22:08:32 -0500

I go to an ivy. I didn't get any offer through my school's preselect process. Right now, should I still bother apply online to all the big banks (alot of them still allow you to apply for summer SA)? Much appreciated.

Frustrated over summer internship search

timergooff — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 02:22:13 -0500

I go to an ivy with a 3.5 GPA and have one summer experience at a small hedge fund. I applied through my school's career center pretty much all the BBs that's interviewing at my school. So far, I don't even have a single interview. Could the reason be that I only applied to S&T? All the BBs are cutting back so much that they only want to interview people with 3.7 or above?
