Hi all,

I recently got an offer for the role of proprietary day trader (PDT) trading Bursa listed equities. However, I'm having second thoughts about accepting it.
I was hoping if anyone has some knowledge about this role and would be willing to share as I have no prior experience with trading.

Some info about the role I was offered:

2.5k basic + commission (about 10-30% at the beginning), commission and capital allocated for trading will be adjusted based on performance.
Contract based for the first 2 years, performance review every 6 months (will be let go if performance is bad, however if bad performance but boss thinks there's potential, extended for another 6 months).

From what I've gathered so far, there will be minimal chance for career progression. Just increase in capital and commission.

What do you guys think?

The role is in a top 5 IB in Malaysia.

I have a degree in Finance and I have passed some SC modules that are required for this role.

As far as I know, it is extremely difficult to become a good trader. By any chance, do you know how much an average prop trader makes a month?

I've already been working for 1 year+, but looking to change department

Thanks for the advice~
