I’m a recent transplant into the industry coming from Tech. Was hired for my software skills, but I am now doing market research and generating trade ideas as well. Expectation is I will be trading as soon as I get up to speed. My desk (global macro) manages ~$1B. I sort of jumped in without setting expectations on bonus, and I don’t know what to expect / how I should negotiate if PM tried to lowball me (granted we do well this year). Any advice would be appreciated!
