Alright, I've read all the threads about some of the guys on here wanting to get into investment banking etc.
I however, want to get into trading.
I have done asset management for 3 months, and have since been market making for a big italian bank in the middle of a merger.
Anyway, I have now been told that there is no job for me in three months time.
I applied to all the grad programs and stuff like that, but basically I have a big problem and that is my a-level results. Well lets just say I decided that I would have fun at school.. anyway, they are dismal.

However I have since studied mech eng at Kingston uni, and achieved a 2:1.
Then studied in milan at Bocconi, and have now got a masters in Quantitative Finance.
However lots of places still ask me about my a-levels.

Just wondering if there was anyone out there willing to give me a break, or even a trial.. whatever
Or of course, anyone with some advice is also welcome to reply.

Thanks

Dom

Go work for a prop firm if you can put up the capital

The capital is not a problem.

Being un-employable at the end of it, is.

thanks, but I dont think its for me.

Anyone else?
