Who gives a sh@* what a trader's starting salary is. You should be more concerned about what a trader can get after 3,4,5+ years if you are serious about it.

Duality needs to first make a starting salary before getting 3,4,5 years experience. So he first needs to know what he can expect to make tomorrow. If you can decide to take a job based only on what you might be able to be making in 5 years from now with no regard to what you will be making tomorrow, I personnally think that you should not be a trader.

what is your take on applying to S&T associate programs once you complete a banking stint (with an offer for a direct promotion to associate). would you need an mba to make the jump?
