Business Outlook
Pros
The learning curve is very steep and long. You are quickly handed a lot of responsibility. You are surrounded by very skilled and intelligent people who are happy to share and teach. The bonus structure is generous and scales well with time at company. Tough interview process means that few employees are fired relative to industry once they are hired. You have a lot of creative freedom to pursue ideas if you have the initiative. Good sense of teamwork. Cool company trips.
Cons
55-60 hour workweeks. The job is stressful and as a trader you are ultimately responsible for any errors. You are probably not learning as many transferable skills as other jobs. Bonus is proportional to net trading income (recently a pro).
