Comments on High frequency trading – Should I work for a trading company? Imagined things 2018-03-23T15:52:27Z http://www.imaginarybillboards.com/?feed=atom&p=123 WordPress By: Anonymous Anonymous http://www.imaginarybillboards.com/?p=123#comment-114 2010-03-05T00:49:02Z 2010-03-05T00:49:02Z I’m in IT at a trading firm. It’s the toughest job I’ve ever had. They pay is good. Don’t be afraid to ask for 30-50% more than what you think you’re worth. I didn’t, It’s the only regret I have.

Don’t expect your yearly review/bonus to be based on how well you do your job. What matters is everything you’ve done above and beyond your job. Just doing your job will lead to termination.

Take the job, even if you end up not liking it, the experience will be well worth it.
