For trading at a bank (not proprietary trading) how much client interaction is there compared to IBD, sales or research? Is there a lot of building relationships and networking involved? Does it depend on the product being traded? For example, would equities trading involve more talking to clients than derivatives trading?
Also, could an introvert survive in trading? I like working in a team and becoming friends with my colleagues but I'm not sure if do well in developing great relationships with clients and representing the bank at events... I'm willing to learn, though.
