“So much of what I do today is rooted in the foundation I built as an intern. Through the education program, you learn options theory needed for the desk, you shadow experienced traders to see how theory applies in practice, and then you do it yourself by actually sitting on a desk and learning how to make decisions in real time.”

“Working with a team was the best part of my project work. We would have whiteboard sessions most mornings to discuss ideas, which was super fun. We also had the opportunity to share these ideas with traders during desk shadows.”

“One of the biggest selling points after my PhD was the immediate friction with reality, and that helps you iterate quickly on your research idea. You can see very fast if it works or not, and you can deliver impact rapidly.”

“The amount of freedom and transparency we get as interns is very unique within the trading industry”
