This is a joke right? You were a flow trader for a dealer. How is that even remotely the same as buyside regardless of size? The tech at bulge doesn't even compare to what some of the sophisticated buysides have in place.
Correct. I always traded prop, even at a bank. The Volcker Rule was a joke. It caused some papers to be shuffled around and a lot of noises were made. The current Administration pretty much certified its death.
Also - having access to flow creates substantial information asymmetry and opportunities.
