AJ studied Combined BA in Finance, Economics, and Philosophy at Drexel University and is now a Quantitative Trader at Citadel Securities

I am a travel consultant and my responsibilities include organising and managing holidays for my clients and ensuring the store runs smoothly on a day to day basis.

My role at IMC is a value-based market-making (VMM) options trader on the Kospi 200 index with a specific focus on broker trading and relationships.

Good work and good ideas stand on their own merit, regardless of your seniority. People are encouraged to always push the envelope, looking for potential value to be added or ways to improve the status quo.

If you crave excitement, then trading is a great job for you. A trader’s day is dictated by news events happening in the world, and what other market participants trade against us each day – we never really know what is going to unfold.

I love that there are plenty of interesting, dynamic, and challenging problems at Optiver and you’ll never be bored of whatever you are working on.

Working in different areas of the business has allowed me to build a well-rounded skillset and a holistic understanding of the Qantas Group.
