Preparing for S&T Sell-Day: Trading Skills for Different Products
I'm going to be an S&T SA at a BB this summer. Need to start networking and preparing for sell-day where you interview for desks. SO was hoping to get some advice before I reached out. Though alright with numbers, I am a humanities major and want to do trading at a relatively non-quant desk on the FICC side. Hopefully, I would like to be placed somewhere that is interesting and has at least some possibility of exit-ops if I realize sell-side trading isn't for me. I am generally interested in politics/economics and the "macro picture", but I think it could be nice to get some company/valuation experience as well.
Thus I was thinking it would be good to do at least one micro rotation on something like High Yield and maybe two rotations on something macro like FX/rates.
Is anyone familiar with how difficult it is to trade some of these products without a heavy math background/the kind of skill-set you need? Particularly, I'm really interested if anyone knows more about distressed debt trading since I heard it is slower paced, more qualitative and seems like a great platform for hedge funds. Thanks!!
