Hi there, I will soon have to choose an MFE program but before doing so, I'd like to know what are the daily tasks of a trader, a structurer or a quant.
If you trade stocks on the US market for example, do your working hours match the hours the market is open ? Do you spend the day in front of a Bloomberg screen processing informations to know whether you should long or short a stock ? The job of a prop trader and someone who only does arbitrage are probably different...
I still have a very vague idea of what my job will look like in less than two years - and I found out that quite a few of my friends in my uni and people I talk to are in the same situation - so any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
