After 2 years, I become trader assistant, started quoting FX swaps/spot and pricing FX options for sales desk. Now I am a full fledged FX options trader managing the G10 flow business. Guess I am lucky at the right place and at the right time.. No CFA, no NUS/ NTU/ SMU degree, no RI/ RJC/ ACS old boys network, just pure grit and hard work! |
Good job! It shows that qualifications and connections do not always determine success. Like you said, pure grit and hard work, together with a little bit of luck will get you further in life than anything else. Actually, this route is how most of the old school FO traders got to where they are. You are just following the old way without knowing it.
