Top Firms in the City

[MrT8]

Hi All,

A simple question. I recently interviewed with Mako Global for their trainee trader position and was fairly impressed with what they offered. Didn't get the job in the end but am eager to know of similar firms that offer good graduate training programs. I am aware that I can look on the Liffe for members sites etc. but any personal recommendations would be much appreciated.

Here's a couple more options market makers:

www.optiver.com
www.sig.com
www.saen.nl
www.sequoiacapital.co.uk

Make sure you are a whizz with options pricing and know Hull from cover to cover off by heart.
However, optiver hold a regular basic maths test (no option theory) in London and all you have to do is pass this to pretty much to get in.

Good luck and let us know how you get on
