Doesn't sound legit to me. Just my gut feeling.

Do you know these guys like they regularly visit your family and have dinner with your parent? Or we've had lunch and a couple of phone calls?

Yes, I know the people are doing well for themselves as career traders, they are in the neighborhood, and I am 98% sure their motivations are sincere in getting me into trading . But it seems like risky, not shady, but risky.

What about an alternative like asking for a salaried middle/ back office position for a little bit, and then moving into such a role

Usually these prop trading firms have you put a certain amount in, then they give you say 4 to 10 times that so you have size and scale. But you have you're money in so you don't take outsized risk.

But you still got to trade well, its a tough business, and you arent really learning besides trading. It depends on the setup and whether they train you I guess.

could this be used as a stepping stone to a better job at a S&T at a BB or help get into a decent MBA program then get to an associate level?

from what i understand, the people at bb would know the reputation, or lack thereof. if you were doing well, why would you leave? if your sinking not swimming..... but from what i know there are some prop firms that hold a good reputation, but i doubt those are easier to get into than a bb really.

these places are a house of cards - you dont want to start your career off unless its a place that trades right on the Exchange (which is not hwat your talking about because they wouldnt be putting up your own money).

IN any event, its a waste of time, and wont help you anywhere. i would continue searching.
