Buying and selling shares of companies, I work in a team of 10 and we manage roughly $10b (equivalent in USD).

Every day we will discuss new developments and how they affect our valuations for these businesses. These decisions are then factored into a portfolio model, which is then implemented by the dealer.

All in all, you have a lot of freedom, you aren't accountable for your time. I could be gone for the week and nobody would bat an eyelid, but the work is honestly so interesting you wouldn't squander your time like that.

You make it sound rather easy here. Can you speak to the sources of stress and the baseline knowledge required to the job?

Did you have to get a degree to do this?
