I have a personal portfolio but really don't have any idea as to what I'm doing. I'm a CS major in my sophomore year at an Ivy, so I'm fairly quantitative. I'm trying to decide between banking and a more quantitative path in finance. I know that as a (buy-side) trader, you have limited exit opportunities, low job security and your pay is directly proportional to the amount you bring in for the firm - it's pretty risky. What's the best way to tell if I can cut it as a trader? I have only one summer in school left, so I want to decide whether to concentrate on getting a banking internship or a trading one.
