fast and heavy. if it is in fact for you, you'll love almost everything about it and get vey well compensated.
Pros
good social side. great compensation. you work off your own back, "eat what you kill" is the term of the industry. the dealing room is manic when busy. a busy and load dealing room is a good dealing room. when its quiet, that means people arent putting bro in so youre ferretting around but generally good banter. only the striong survive, weak either dont perform or are driven out. good working environment and unique crowd of people. its a mean and highly driven environment thats an amazing pace to work if youve got it in you. a lot of hours ith clients and general freedom as long as youre bringing the money in.
Cons
exit opportunities are not amazing. although this is a fact of the industry and not unique to icap. of all the other brokers icap would be out front as far as i can tell. learnig is on the job and you are not formally trained as such. although you leave at the bell generally, a good broker spends time with his clients / is outgathering new ones s one must make sacrifices on some level but these are offset by the many good factors mentioned above. if the jobis fr you, then you wont be much affected by any of these bad points.
