From zero, assuming a career switch my suggestion would be -
- Study up online on your chosen product/market, until you can talk confidently around it.
- Get a job in middle office of investment bank working as closely with traders as possible. Might be a couple of job jumps after getting foot in door. You may need to be flexible & move locations to wherever the bank has most of its back office people.
- Work twice as hard as anyone else, soaking in as much process/product knowledge as you can.
- build close relationship with desk head, learn how to do 75%+ the trader job by shadowing & 12 hour days hour days.
Dependent on your existing skills, experience and energy level, it’s possible for many within few years, not necessarily easy.
Thank you!!! You have been really helpful.
