What Does It Take To Become A Trader Or Broker In Manhattan/NYC?
Apr 15, 2007 by mathfinstudent | Posted in Investing
I am currently a swotter in a MSc of quantitative finance program. I will have 61/2 months experience as a rookie quant by the stretch I graduate. What will it take to land a good job as a trader or a broker or analyst at one of the better firms in NYC?
You doubtlessly have to have come from a good school. You also need good comunication skills and you need to have perceptiveness, not just knowledge.
It is hard to get into trading. You probably do not want to start as a trading fellow (coffee getter). Your best chance is to work is a lesser bank (something like JPMorgan) as a quant and get the traders to like you. Then take over. Top places (like Goldman and Morgan Stanley) do not do that as much.
How Can I Found An Apartment To Rent In Manhattan Without Paying A Broker Fee?
Jun 07, 2007 by Mike W | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
When I search on craigslist it seems to be that everyone is a broker or distressing to charge a fee.
If you already stay in the City (or real close) you've got a chance...if your relocating from outside the area...I got be honest...it's a great shot. It's hard EVEN W/ A BROKER!!!
If you're in the City...you gotta network like crazy...ask everyone you know, put your own ad on CL, put posters up in coffee shops, pizza places, etc. Also look in places other the CL...try the Give utterance, the Post, the Times, the Daily News...
If you're relocating you may want to consider a roommate location (where they already have the apartment) until you get settled and can find your own place.
Lastly don't be afraid to work w/ a broker...ask questions...look at some rentals...learn what you can. Some brokers will grant for a bit of negotiation regarding their fees... this will only work if you make good money (150+K) ...have a intensified rental history and impeccable credit...in other words...if you don't need a broker.
It's worth every bit of effort you will put into it...NYC's the spot to be!! Happy Hunting!!

My quiet and I are looking to buy an apartment in NYC using a real estate broker. However, I don't know if we pick one broker and he helps us through everything and is our liason with all the other legal estate agencies or we pick one broker from each agency.
Any advice would greatly be appreciated!!

I Need Advice On How To Look For Office Space In Manhattan. Should I Use A Broker?
Jul 23, 2008 by dc | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
When should I look for a barrister? How can I find the right lawyer? Has anyone gone through this experience? I'm looking for about 1200-1500 ft space in midtown manhattan. Where and how should I start?
There is nothing wonderful-difficult about renting office space. You can read the lease yourself and only go to a lawyer if it is confusing or partial. Your neighbor tenants will tell you if their lawyer helped or not. Check the newspaper and craigslist. The main affair to remember is that almost every building you pass will have the space you need, Lots of turnover. So pick a sully near your home or near your desired location and walk into some buildings. They will be glad to eschew you. They want good tenants.
Sign the shortest lease possible. IT's easy to range if you like the place. Hard to get out if you don't like it.

And if the fee is negotiable, what is the subdue way to negotiate with the broker?
Being in the RE issue all fees are negotiable. However you have to find an agent willing to negotiate with you...
On the other hand you might get better service from your emissary if you settle on a higher fee and list with a Reasonable price not a Pie in the Sky type price then beating the cause down...
Otherwise you could be Just wasting your and your agents time...
But there is lots of competition out there and i'm sure you can find some New or desperate proxy willing to bow to your every wish...
