Hi,
I am applying to prop shops in London or elsewhere. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Basically I'm looking for a good training programm, which lasts at least 3-6 months. The company should cover the expenses for the desk and training. I would love to get paid during this time also, but heard from only one company who does that.
I've got a bachelors degree which isn't that great (2:2, no ivy league, standard german university). So obviously I'm looking for companies who will employ me, despite of that.
The alternative is doing my master and going for a PhD. But if I do that, I will be 28 or so - which isn't exactly the short route I'm looking for. Perhaps an MBA would be better?
I expect to have no chance if I apply to any NY-based company. Correct?
Here is a list of firms I found.
Please add links to companies if you can - thanks.
