Hello! So you want to be an electronic trader? First off, you're better
off with a degree in computer science or statistics than with an MBA.
You will also have to learn a lot of things on your own since people that
make money in this field do not help others compete.
You will get the broadest experience from a sell side firm like Morgan Stanley
or Goldman Sachs. If you can get into one of their intern programs that will
provide you with the best start. However, you will probably have a higher
compensation in a hedge fund in the long run.
Its not all that hard, just follow the 4 steps on the right...
Good luck!
