review and is evolving.
Pros: The learning curve is steep, which is good for a junior trader. I got hands-on with real-time digital asset derivatives trading right away. The team in the London office is pretty sharp and I learned a lot from them.
Cons: Career growth here isn't great, especially for junior roles in trading. There's not much of a clear path to move up or develop new skills beyond my initial scope. It feels more like a fintech startup with limited upward mobility right now.
Advice to Management: Focus on creating clearer career paths for junior employees. Investing in internal training programs could really help with retention and skill development in trading operations.
