Why work for us:
Started with a mixture of group training exercises, classroom sessions and simulation training during grad training. Now I trade live on the market throughout the day and are in control of my own book which I am responsible for. Spend time during the day thinking about ways to optimize my setup and improve my strategy via analysis.
Day to day I am trading, which involves writing, monitoring and adjusting parameters to trading software while monitoring live trades and news. After trading closes, I write software or analyse data, usually in python.

Trading
Maven implements both fundamental and quantitative trading & market making strategies across global markets, utilising only the group’s capital.
Stimulating, meritocratic, intense
Flat Hierarchy, causal dress code, caring culture
Friendly environment, everyone very willing to teach and help out. Every day is different depending on news.
Small, young, meritocratic, lots of room for progression, fun coworkers
Lots of really smart people who are always happy to teach you. Challenging job, tons to learn. Company growing really fast, so opportunities to genuinely contribute. Great pay + perks.
The intellectual challenge. Constantly being pushed to learn new ideas which makes everyday interesting and stimulating. Doing it as part of the grad team has been really good fun as you all work together towards the same goals.
Intensity isn't for everyone
Fast-paced, which means you have to make sure you are keeping up
Early mornings, quite periods interspersed with busy so not as regular flow compared to other jobs.
Long hours (although not relative to say investment banking) and you have to stay focused all day (not a lot of downtime)
It's hard work and intellectually difficult, which can be tiring.
