In reply to Tim. Unfortunately, the author no longer maintains that site. I don't know of any other good sources for S&T interview preparation, but we have published a few S&T articles recently and plan to publish a few more, including updated versions of existing articles, later this year.

Im fairly new posting here but been reading for a while. Trying to break into S&T and doing preperations. Trying to consume and read as much as possible for my preparations and read/listen to everything here about S&T @ M&I. For me it seems like http://salesandtradingcareers.com/ is not working anymore and I wonder if the site has moved or if the material from there is availeable to get anywhere else or any other source of up to date s&t preparations.

All help is appreicated

Hi,

I’m wondering, aside from IBD, what are some other typically followed routes to get into a Hedge Fund/Prop Trading Firm? If I’m not interested in Private Equity, I’m thinking perhaps IBD isn’t necessary. I’ve got prior experience shadowing Asset Management at Fidelity and trading at a small bank, are AM/ Trading (even though Prop trading at banks is dying) viable routes into HFs, or is IBD a more commonly trodden path?

In reply to Ethical Gordon Gekko. At a large bank? Not as much as you used to. Cash compensation tends to level off in the low hundreds of thousands. You might earn more, but most of it will be in the form of stock or deferred cash.

Hmm I am not sure about that one… have you already contacted him through the site? I’ll send a message to ask right now. You could also try the direct site link here:

I’m trying to download derivstrading’s internship guide off his website (salesandtradingcareers.com), but I get an error when I click on the link to purchase the guide. Is there any alternative way to buy the guide?

In reply to Sumit. The counter-parties can be different. I'm not sure what you mean by your second question.

Hello Sir,
I have a question regarding one of the option strategies, that is called Collar. When you sell a collar, is there always 2 dudes to the trade, first buying a put and then selling a call. Are those 2 trades done with the same counterparty or different? Also when you write an option , can your market value ever be positive? Thanks
