interesting post, I am too a SIM grad, got into a bank in offshore foreign bank on contract job, assisting trading desk filling orders and updating spreadsheet, filling in for a lady on maternity leave. Converted into a permanent job after the lady decided to become full-time housewife.
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

ACS old boys network, just pure grit and hard work!
