Careers | New Traders
Chimera has been successfully training traders since 2000. We hire selectively into our core Training Program and always take risk on new traders.
We never require capital contributions or "education" fees.
Recruiting Process
Chimera generally offers two training classes each year. Applications are due at least two months prior to the start date, though job postings should specify the exact date.
We typically recruit on campus at the following schools for positions in NYC:
|
New York University |
Boston College |
|
Northwestern University |
Indiana University, Bloomington |
|
Seton Hall University |
University of Michigan |
|
Rutgers University |
Boston University |
If your school is not on the list, or if you are a recent alum, email recruiter@chimerasecurities.com to be considered for the training program.
The goal of the training program is to give trainees the necessary tools to successfully trade in this fast paced, dynamic market environment. New traders will be trained under the supervision and instruction of experienced traders.
The duration of the program is four months and it is unpaid. There is no guarantee of an offer of employment at the end of the training program.
Please contact us at recruiter@chimerasecurities.com for our current recruiting schedule or with any questions.
