s&t, as the name implied, do sales. if you read some wall street books s&t people are usually tasked with selling useless or undervalued products to clients over the phone. The more junk the product, the harder to sell, but the more commissions you get. if the client make losses, the company does not bear responsibility, but you will feel personally responsible.
trader and dealer sounds almost the same. they buy and sell the markets. dealer usually take on the risk of clients, say client wants to buy 1mil shares of AAPL, and dealer converts that risk to something else. Trader look after their own accounts, and dont have to deal with clients.
for traders, they have max losses daily. the company are willing to absorb some loss. for consistent losses, you're better off not being a trader anymore.
so, what is credit analysis about? determine credibility of counter-parties?
