Description

This package is for candidates figuring out whether sales and trading is the right direction, as well as those who already know it is and want a resume and a clear target list. In our first session, we'll go through your background, education, and experience, talk through what trading, structuring, and prop trading roles actually involve day to day, and take a first look at your resume together. After the session, I'll send you a written summary of role types within trading and detailed suggestions to revise your resume. In our second session, we'll pick up from there. If you're still deciding, we'll talk through your reaction to the role summary and settle on a direction. Either way, we'll review your updated resume and build a specific list of target roles and companies suited to your background. I spent nine years as a Managing Director running the EMEA exotic rates and long-dated FX derivatives trading desk at UBS, and 20+ years overall across trading, risk, and valuation at UBS, Deutsche Bank, and J.P. Morgan. I've interviewed hundreds of candidates and hired dozens across these firms, and my guidance reflects what a hiring manager on a trading floor is actually looking for, both in a candidate's direction and on the page. Two 60-minute live video sessions, one to two weeks apart to give you time to reflect and revise, plus a written role summary and resume feedback sent by email after session 1. Service Time: 2 hours live. 1 hour offline (role summary and resume feedback)

A clear picture of the roles within Sales & Trading and which fit your background

A revised, Trading-specific resume

A specific list of target roles and companies matched to your background

Joined November 2025

Ex-UBS Managing Director, Exotic Rates & FX Derivatives Trading Desk

I spent nine years as a Managing Director running the EMEA exotic rates and long-dated FX derivatives trading desk at UBS, executing client transactions and managing interest rate, foreign exchange, and volatility risk across structured products. Before that, I traded interest rate derivatives at J.P. Morgan. I later moved into valuations and model risk at Deutsche Bank, giving me a view of trading from both sides of the desk, the risk-taking side and the side that scrutinizes it. I coach candidates targeting sales and trading, structuring, and prop trading roles. I focus on the technical content these interviews test, including pricing intuition, market-making and risk scenarios, and probability and estimation questions, along with how to carry yourself with the composure and clarity that trading floor interviews are specifically testing for. You may notice I don't have reviews here yet. I joined Leland last year but only started actively coaching on this platform this month, since most of my time until now has gone into consulting work and interview coaching elsewhere, where I've built a track record of 25+ five-star reviews and a top 5% job offer rate with past clients. If you'd like a sense of how I work before booking a package, the free intro call is a good place to start.
