I’m in the financial service group at MoFo and love it. Doing a mix of regulatory and transactional work. But considering how we separate out our fintech/financial services team from our finance team idk where you would land based on your description (I.e, fig). Happy to chat if you talking about reg or financial services transactional work.

What kind of FIG work?

MoFo is probably a better platform in this particular space

that’s where i’m leaning

The platform, the clients, the experience, the work, the knowledge management, the technology will all be tremendously better while you are there. And then if/when you leave, you will be coming from a way better jumping off point. It’s not close.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

It’s in data science which I know nothing about and don’t even know if I’ll enjoy it. I’m so stressed about what the course will be like and what my opportunities would look like.
