At the conclusion of 10 weeks, you will have the opportunity to present your results to senior leadership at DRW.

- Education: As the trading industry continually evolves, both in terms of new products and transaction methods, the future will present us with unique opportunities and challenges. You’ll complete an options course taught by an experienced trader and participate in a technology immersion course to better understand how technology and trading intersect.
