Re: Looking for a Junior Trader position in London

I am currently working as an Index Analyst at Societe Generale CIB in London.

I just finished my MSc in Financial Mathematics at the University of Warwick (UK). My dissertation dealt with stochastic volatility models (Heston and CEV models).

I wish to work as a Junior Trader. The trading floor is an intense and exciting environment where you learn every day. I am looking forward to working in this kind of environment where I will be able to blossom and utilize my skills. I like the atmosphere of a trading floor, taking risk, and sensing the market moves every day.

I enjoy trading for my own, I have my own small portfolio and I also take part of the MarkitSelect trading game. I made a profit of more than £6 million for each one month period of the game. I mainly traded stocks, futures on commodities, indices and FX products.

I am very interested in complex products (derivatives, exotics...). I also like building and implementing new models; and finding more efficient trading strategies. I enjoyed building a Monte Carlo Simulation and a Binomial Tree in C#; and a Black-Scholes model in C++. I have great math skills (Stochastic Processes, Brownian Motion...) and I am able to analyze data quickly. I also have good skills in Financial Time Series (ARCH, GARCH…).

I developed strong skills and a real interest in Financial Markets while working at SGCIB as an Index Analyst, Exane S.A. on the Cash Equity Trading floor and at BNP Paribas Arbitrage, in Global Product Control. I like to compete, I like challenges, and working under pressure. I cultivated strong teamwork and I am a very hard working person.
