In Part 2, we pick up from Part 1 and learn how WS is able to make an internal transition at his bulge bracket bank to get even closer to the actual trading, eventually becoming Vice President on the High Yield Credit desk before another sudden turn of events would leave him out of a job for 6 months. Find out how he ended up at an even better Bulge Bracket after a half-year hiatus, but this time in a research capacity and why he left after less than 2 years to finally join a hedge fund putting his ideas to work.
