eat what you kill - Broker BGC Group Employee Review

Its pretty straight forward. You make a percentage of what you earn in brokerage. The job itself isnt that hard and you can definitely make a lot of money. But its tough to break in as a young kid unless you know some people at banks / funds that are trading. It can take a years to develop relationships if youre just getting into the business, and most desks dont pay non-brokers a ton of money. A lot of the older guys dont seem to want to give up costumers to younger guys so it can be tough to break through.
