Normally FX is in the private sector and works for accounts or customers. Most trades are in the private sector and are done globally. They usually deal with a lot of high volume trading as well. My friend working in FX makes around $150k without bonus.

How many YOE does your friend have?

Any recommendations for a female psychologist in the Alexandria,VA area?

Is this new job DOA? I’ve been in my new role 6 weeks after interviewing extensively and getting 5 offers and thinking back on those offers I turned down. I picked this company bc I liked their product and the manager, but I’m already feeling 1. REALLY silo-ed . Not a collaborative environment (even though I’m perfectly capable of doing my own thing.)Like I have entire days I don’t talk to anyone 2. Can’t seem to get my boss’s attention on my priorities that truly should be huge company issues
