Business Insider
Sales and trading are not easy businesses to be in.
They take quick decision making, skill, and determination to get ahead, as technology makes humans less relevant and profits for the business continue to dwindle. It's tough for folks to get ahead.
But we've gleaned some of the top 35-and-under Wall Streeters in sales and trading who are way ahead.
As part of our rising stars of Wall Street list, Business Insider sifted through hundreds of nominations of some of Wall Street's top talent to find those who have stood out in a crowd of thousands.
We came across many talented people, and this list is by no means comprehensive. To be eligible, we asked that nominees be based in or around the New York area, age 35 or under, and distinguished in some way from the pack.
Their roles range in scope, covering research to sales to trading to market infrastructure. But they all represent the future of an ever-changing industry.
