For entry level into banks, top degree from top university.
Hedge fund easiest way in may be maths/physics Phd from top university
Other way into both is a successful historical trading track record from the "right" place.
Luck and who you know can also play a big part.

By "the right place" I mean a place that is well regarded in that particular sector.
There are many young, smart and determined people who want to be junior traders, if you do not fit the criteria I have provided then it is a question of persistence and trying to get a break.

Hello just thought if anyone knew or had any opinions about the quant masters courses at cass business school ( formerly city uni). I am not a quant and come from an unrelated background. With a good GMAT score, they seem to be the only ones who will take a non quant.
Thanks

Thanks

GMAT is not so easy, i've done it. Went and did a masters in finance and now trade for myself, trying the back door way! You could learn to trade an invest with a smaller broker, this is what i did for a few years. You'll learn a heck of a lot about trading this way. One thing i will promise you is u don't need to have a phD in anything to be a good trader. My programmer is trying to get me to flog some of my systems to various brokerage firms..... lol.... no phD here..........
