Hello All,

I just passed the the series 7 and will be come a financial advisor. I am new to the industry and was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how to get into the market of prop trading what criteria companies are looking for and whether or not they would be willing to take an unexperienced person and train them and also if an MBA is required? If not then any recommendations on what my first step should be would be very helpful. I have a degree in business and have been in the real estate industry for the last 5 years. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Cheers

You should not need an MBA - experience with the markets will be your most valuable asset in looking for a prop trading job. Check out the list of prop trading firms here:
