Trading firms have high turnover rates. Stress, getting fired, leaving for a competitor, or just a change of life.
Since moving upstairs, I sat next to our VIX trader who I got to know quite well. Down to Earth guy, wicked smart, but a social and genuine person.
After the close today he leaned over and told me he was resigning, only after about a year and a half of being with us. Moving to a different career. He then told the team, and it was his last day
Gonna miss him, I wish him well
