Yes but that's not to say sales is easier than trading. When you trade you have 0 care for clients, all the screw ups and client servicing is none of your business. As a trader you get the risk you square it off you are done, in less than a minute. But again, you are fighting with hundreds of applicants, some from ivy leagues... So luck is major factor. Most if not all my ops pals don't make it past the HR filter.
