Was it hard to convince them to give you that chance?

Some companies seem to prefer to hire from the outside rather than to give the chance to someone internally.

I did not have to, I had the chance to be the "natural choice" when a trader left the desk.

I joined the desk as a computer scientist. They quickly gave me the opportunity to develop the strategies with them and thus to understand/know the business.

At the bank for which I was working, this kind of move is not uncommon.
